3.0 INTRODUCTION
QGC Pty Limited (QGC) is the principal holder of a Site Specific Environmental Authority (EA) (Chapter 5
Activities), permit number EPPG00889613 (formerly PEN101252410), for the Jordan Project Area.
These Project areas contribute to the Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG) Project.

The EA was granted before the commencement of the Environmental Protection (Greentape Reduction)
and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2012 (Greentape Amendment Act) which amended the
Environmental Protection Act (EP Act) in March 2013. The EA was a level 1 Chapter 5A Environmental
Authority, which was transitioned to be an environmental authority for a resource activity, having
continuing effect under section 690 of the EP Act.

The purpose of this Plan of Operations (PoO) is to provide detailed information about the scope of
petroleum activities to be carried out in the Jordan Project Area under the period of this PoO, and to
satisfy the requirements prescribed in section 288 of the EP Act. The PoO is submitted pursuant to
section 703 of the EP Act, which applies in respect of transitional environmental authorities that relate to a
petroleum lease.

3.1. Term
This PoO was originally developed as an Operational Plan for the Jordan Project Area as required by the
EA conditions. The Operational Plan was subsequently updated after the commencement of the
Greentape Amendment Act to incorporate requirements of s288 EP Act and take the form of a PoO. As
such, the period over which this PoO extends reflects the EA conditions (i.e. commencement date where
specified) as well as QGC project development timeframes (i.e. cessation date).

The PoO for the Jordan Project Area details the activities to be undertaken on site in the 5-year period
between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2019 as authorised by the EA. Data on existing activities
undertaken at the Jordan Project Area was current as at 19 September 2014.

3.2. Scope
Petroleum activities within the Jordan Project Area will be undertaken in accordance with EA
EPPG00889613 and the approved Gas Field Development Plan as required under the Petroleum and
Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004 (P&G Act). The petroleum activities are broadly categorised as
follows:

Seismic and geotechnical exploration and appraisal;


Installation and operation of wells and associated gas production and water management
infrastructure;
Incidental petroleum activities; and
Associated land disturbance and rehabilitation.

This PoO provides the following information in accordance with Section 288 of the EP Act and
Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (DEHP) Guideline Preparing a plan of operations for
an environmental authority relating to a petroleum lease:

A description of leases and land to which the PoO applies;


A description of the existing and proposed petroleum activities and incidental activities authorised
under the (P&G Act) to be carried out under EA EPPG00889613 during the period of the PoO;
A series of maps that record the location of all existing and programmed and approved petroleum and
incidental infrastructure;
The proposed maximum area of disturbance up to 31 December 2019, including degree of vegetation
disturbance;
Action program for complying with the conditions of the EA;

5.0 DESCRIPTION OF LAND TO WHICH PLAN APPLIES

5.1. Land Use


The majority of the Jordan Project Area is used for pastoral activities, specifically grazing of modified
pasture. Production forestry is the second most significant land use, followed by residential (refer Figure
3). Cropping is also carried out within the Jordan Project Area.

There are some small areas in the northern blocks and some larger areas in the southern blocks of the
Jordan Project Area which have been mapped by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines as
potential Strategic Cropping Land (SCL). The two most northern blocks of the Jordan Project Area
contain small areas of the Priority Agricultural Area (refer Figure 3).

There are two state forests (production forestry) in the Jordan Project Area: Vickery State Forest and
Kumbarilla State Forest. There are other well vegetated areas across the Jordan Project Area.

Rehabilitation of disturbed areas will aim to return the land to its pre-disturbance land use to the greatest
extent possible. Land use will be confirmed and documented as part of the pre-clearance survey process
prior to any disturbance required for construction of project infrastructure (refer Section 9). Once
rehabilitated, it is anticipated that post-disturbance land use will reflect pre-disturbance land use except
where an alternative use has been agreed with the relevant government department and landholder(s).

5.2. Soils and Topography


More than 100 soil types have been identified and described within the QCLNG gas field area as part of
regional land resource surveys of the Central and Western Downs, and Dawson-Fitzroy, undertaken for
the Queensland Government. Each of these soils have some attributes that distinguish them from the
others but the distinguishing attributes are not necessarily relevant when comparing soil suitability for, or
impact from, a particular land use. Soils with similar characteristics in terms of potential impacts arising
from activities undertaken associated with developing, operating and decommissioning the gas fields
have been amalgamated into 11 soil management units.

Soil types vary across the Jordan Project Area. In the north, the most common soil types comprise
Melonhole clays, and Shallow sands and sandy loams/Sandy or loamy texture contrast (TC) soils. The
southern area is predominantly made up of Loamy TC soils, Dark cracking clay, and Sandy TC soils. A
range of other soil types occur across the remaining areas of the Jordan Project Area (refer Figure 4).

Confirmation of soil type is undertaken on site as part of the ecological surveys carried out prior to
finalisation of infrastructure location. This information is incorporated as part of the planning for managing
potential impacts to soils on site. Soil management methods are determined with reference to the
applicable soil management unit and the requirements of the QGC Soil Management Plan (QCLNG-
BX00-ENV-PLN-0000034).

The topography of the land within the Jordan Project Area is generally flat with some undulations with a
few minor hills in the state forest areas (refer Figure 4).

5.3. Environmentally Sensitive Areas, Regional Ecosystems and Essential Habitat


Four mapped environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs) as currently defined under the EA occur within the
blocks to be developed in the Jordon Project Area by the end of 2019. The ESAs comprise:

Category B Endangered Regional Ecosystems (biodiversity status);


Category C Essential Habitat Area;
Category C State Forest; and
Category C Of Concern Regional Ecosystems (biodiversity status).

Revision 3 Nov 2014

The DEHP RE search identified large areas of Least Concern REs across the Jordan Project Area, with
some areas of Remnant Of Concern and some small areas of Endangered also identified (refer Figure 7).
Within the Jordan Project Area a number of Essential Habitats were identified through DEHP RE Maps.
The Essential Habitats (refer Figure 7) relate to:

Fauna:
Imperial Hairstreak (northern subspecies) (Jalmenus eubulus);

Squatter Pigeon (southern subspecies) (Geophaps scripta scripta); and

Brigalow Scaly-foot (Paradelma orientalis).

Flora:
Kogan Wax Flower (Philotheca sporadica).

5.4. Broad Vegetation Groups and Biodiversity Significance


The Jordan Project Area has large areas of vegetation due to the state forests located in the southern
blocks. As such, large areas of the tenure have a medium Biodiversity Significance rating. Small pockets of
high and very high rated vegetation are also identified across the project area. There are also some large
areas of cleared land used for grazing and cropping which have no Biodiversity Significance rating (refer
Figure 6).

The Broad Vegetation Groups (BVGs) identified within the Jordan Project Area are shown in Figure 6. The
dominant vegetation groups vary across the Jordan Project Area with the most extensive BVGs being:

12a (Dry woodlands to open-woodlands dominated by ironbarks such as Eucalyptus decorticans, E.


fibrosa subsp. nubila, or E. crebra and/or bloodwoods such as Corymbia trachyphloia, C. leichhardtii,
C. watsoniana, C. lamprophylla, C. peltata. Occasionally E. thozetiana, E. cloeziana or E. mediocris
are dominant. Mostly on sub-coastal/inland hills with shallow soils).
17a (Woodlands dominated by Eucalyptus populnea (or E. brownii) on alluvium, sand plains and
footslopes of hills and ranges).
18b (Woodlands dominated Eucalyptus crebra frequently with Corymbia spp. or Callitris spp. on flat to
undulating plains).

Other BVGs present in the area comprise:

10a (Moist open-forests to woodlands dominated by Corymbia citriodora).


18a (Dry woodlands to open-woodlands, dominated by bloodwoods (C. dallachiana, C. terminalis, C.
plena, or C. leichhardtii) or ironbarks (E. quadricostata, E. crebra or E. exilipes), often with E.
acmenoides, Angophora leiocarpa and Callitris glaucophylla in the Brigalow Belt, on sandy plateaus
and plains).
25a (Open-forests to woodlands dominated by Acacia harpophylla sometimes with Casuarina cristata
on heavy clay soils. Includes areas co-dominated with A. cambagei and/or emergent eucalypts).

5.5. Wetlands/Water Features


Area of potential floodplains were identified through the use of the Interim Queensland Floodplain
Assessment Overlay Mapping Queensland Reconstruction Authority (refer Figure 7), which run
generally north to south along the north western blocks.

A search of the Declared Wild Rivers, Referable Wetlands and the River Improvement Trust did not find
any declared areas or trusts within the Jordan Project Area.

6.0 SUMMARY OF EXISTING AND PROPOSED ACTIVITIES

6.1. Background to Natural Gas infrastructure


Gas is collected at the wells and transferred via a gas gathering network to a Field Compression Station
(FCS). It is compressed at the FCS and transferred via a gas trunkline to a Central Processing Plant
(CPP) for further compression. Gas is then transferred via the Gas Collection Header pipeline to the
Export Pipeline for transfer to the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Plant on Curtis Island. The Gas Collection
Header, Export Pipelines and LNG facility are authorised under separate EAs. Figure 8 provides a
conceptual schematic of the gas gathering, compression and pipeline infrastructure.

6.2. Infrastructure Siting Process


The locations of proposed QGC infrastructure are determined by refining the optimal location at a
conceptual level through consideration of geology, land access, engineering, environmental and social
constraints. This process is undertaken using the QGC Constraint Planning and Field Development
Protocol (QCLNG-BX00-ENV-PLN-000023) (Constraints Protocol) in a broader process called the QGC
Upstream Delivery Process (UDP).

The Constraints Protocol is part of the UDP and is used to ensure wherever possible that infrastructure is
not located within areas that would require disturbance to significant environmental values, including
Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES), waterways and wetlands. Constraints mapping
and pre-clearance surveys are undertaken to identify the presence of environmental values and
determine if there are suitable alternative locations that will avoid or minimise impacts. Constraints

mapping is applied for the life of the project, and is updated as additional information becomes available.
The final location selection for infrastructure involves on-ground surveys and further refinement of
locations based on internal feedback from all business groups within QGC, regulatory requirements and
landholder agreements, in accordance with QGCs Manual of Authorities for the UDP. The constraints
analysis and approval stages for the design and location of proposed infrastructure is summarised in
Section 8.0.

QGC considers only infrastructure that has been approved through the QGC UDP as programed and
approved infrastructure for the purposes of the DEHP Guideline and the EA conditions. The final
approval under the UDP prior to construction means the infrastructure has been through detailed design
and agreement with landholders has been reached on the purpose, design and location of the proposed
infrastructure.

QGC undertakes exploration and development activities and negotiates access to land in accordance
with the requirements of the P & G Act and the QLD Land Access Code (2010). The Land Access Code
regulates the communications between landholders and resource companies and outlines mandatory
conditions that must be complied with whilst undertaking activities on private land. This includes the
negotiation of Conduct and Compensation Agreements (CCAs) prior to undertaking advanced activities
on private land.

Appendix B show the locations of the infrastructure identified in the PoO that currently exists, or that has
been approved following the UDP as of 19 September 2014.

7.0 DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING AND PROPOSED ACTIVITIES

7.1. Well Establishment and Operation

7.1.1. Overview

A total of 127 wells are planned to be developed in the Jordan Project Area by 31 December 2019. The
majority of CSG wells are drilled as a single well per well pad. Sections 7.1.3 to 7.1.8 below provide a
detailed description of the processes involved in the establishment and operation of a well.

7.1.2. Seismic and Geotechnical Investigations

Seismic and geotechnical investigations are undertaken to delineate the formation for the exploration of
coal bed methane or natural gas. Seismic investigations most commonly comprise 2D investigations that
use vibrator pads located on trucks to generate seismic waves down through the strata that are reflected
back from different layers in the geological profile. This is recorded to precise locations using a Global
Positioning System (GPS). The seismic waves are recorded and a geological profile is produced to
determine the most appropriate location to drill a well. The process for 2D seismic survey is as follows:

Selection of a seismic line location from desktop review that meets technical requirements and
minimises vegetation disturbance (with reference to the Constraints Protocol). Route alignment is most
commonly along existing access tracks, fencelines, property boundaries etc;
Gain access from the landholder, in accordance with QGC procedures and the Land Access Code;
Route selection is finalised after ground-truthing has determined the potential for unavoidable
significant impacts and landholder agreements have been secured;
Vegetation management where required including slashing and mulching. Generally minimal
disturbance to vegetation results from seismic work, especially through agricultural areas. Where
required, vegetation clearance of stems 100 mm diameter at breast height is undertaken using
tracked mulching machine but only where critically needed. Maximum authorised width of disturbance
of 12 m;
Recording of seismic survey using vibreosis trucks along the route; and
Carry out rehabilitation activities as required, although generally the seismic lines are left to regenerate
naturally post-mulching.
Geotechnical investigations may then be undertaken to verify the seismic data and include core sampling
activities in locations to give statistical validity to gas reserve estimates. For major infrastructure,
geotechnical investigations consist of shallow cores to determine the strength of underlying soil profiles to
evaluate the civil works programme for construction.

Occasionally, three dimensional (3D) seismic surveys are undertaken in areas where more detailed data
is required. 3D seismic survey typically results in a greater area of disturbance due to the 200 m spacing
of survey lines. No 3D seismic surveying has been undertaken in the Jordan blocks.

7.1.3. CSG Well Site Preparation

Depending upon the type of drill rig used, well site preparation may include installation of and provision
for:

A hardstand area of approximately 1 ha to facilitate all-weather activities on site;


A drill cuttings pit (also referred to as drill sump) may be required for storage of water for drilling,
recirculation of water into the drilling rig mud system and collection of drill cuttings. Where possible,
sumpless drilling techniques are used;
Water containment facilities for associated water extracted during exploration;
Fuel storage in accordance with Australian Standard (AS) 1940;
Flare pit or tank for flaring in the event of an emergency during drilling;

Revision 3 Nov 2014

Transportable buildings for drill equipment, storage, lighting towers, site offices and amenities;
Drill rig and sub base, generators, mud tank casing racks and pipe trailer;
Loading bays and entry/exit points for vehicles; and
Access tracks, where required.

Typically, CSG production is not optimal if wells are within 500 m of each other and QGC will typically
space wells approximately 750 m apart where this is practical. Environmental and social constraints are
considered in locating wells. All wells will be drilled as a single well per well pad. The well sites require a
firm and level area of approximately 1 ha to accommodate a drilling rig. This pad area places the drill rig
at a safe distance from site offices, ancillary drilling equipment and other associated temporary
infrastructure.

Vegetation topsoil and subsoil is removed from the area and soil stockpiled separately for use during
rehabilitation. Where wells are constructed on slopes, cut and fill may be required to establish a level
base. Once rehabilitated, it is anticipated that post-disturbance land use will reflect pre-disturbance land
use except where an alternative use has been agreed with the relevant government department and
landholder(s). Where necessary, stormwater will be diverted around the drill pad via bunding with flow
directed onto undisturbed areas.

7.1.4. Well Drilling

Once a site has been prepared the drilling process will commence. Well construction is carried out in
stages. The main drill rig drills the well to a target depth through the coal seams (generally 600 m to 700
m below ground level). The subsurface formations are logged to test formation composition, and the coal
seams are often under reamed (i.e. opened out to a larger diameter). A drill stem test is conducted on
exploration and appraisal wells, to test water flow rates. A top hole rig may be used to drill the first section
of the well down to between 60 m and 100 m prior to the main rig arrival, although often the main rig will
drill this upper section as well. Steel casing is installed in the hole and concrete is pumped in to fill the
gap around the casing and provide isolation from the formations above the coals. The casing is also
pressure tested to ensure integrity of the well. Well-drilling operations are conducted 24 hours a day.

After the main drilling rig departs, a completion/workover rig is used to install completion tubing inside the
well. A pump is installed inside this to pump the water out of the coal seams through the tubing. Upon
reducing the pressure on the well through the removal of water, gas will desorb from the coals and be
produced to surface through the gap between the tubing and the casing (i.e. the casing/tubing annulus).
An indicative schedule of drill site activities for a single well and expected durations are given in Table 4.

Table 4: Indicative Drill Site Activity Schedule


Activity Expected Duration
Site preparation, excavator, fencing, access tracks 3 to 7 days for each site
Top Hole rig setup drill and set conductor pipe (10 m) 0.5 day
Drill surface hole to no less than 10% of predicted total depth 0.5 day
Exploration / appraisal wells: install drill rig, log test, under ream, drill stem 5 to 8 days
test, set casing, drill and release
Development well: install drill rig, set casing, log test, under ream, drill and
2 to 4 days
release
Total for exploration / appraisal well (excluding site preparation) Approximately 5 to 9 days
Total for development well (excluding site preparation) Approximately 3 to 5 days
Completion of well 2 to 4 days

After well construction is complete, barriers are erected around the permanent infrastructure. Appropriate
signage relating to restricted entry, fire hazards and protective clothing requirements is prominently
displayed to warn landholders and the public of the dangers and required controls.

Revision 3 Nov 2014

Each drill rig is to be powered by diesel generators with capacity of approximately 200 kW to 500 kW.
Depending on the type of drill rig and engine, approximately 2,000 L of fuel is required per day. Typically
between 10,000 L and 20,000 L of fuel is stored temporarily and in accordance with AS 1940. Once
wellhead infrastructure is established, the pad is partially rehabilitated to occupy an area approximating
0.6 ha. The surface equipment is fenced to exclude undesired access to wellhead infrastructure.

Deep natural gas drill rigs used to drill for Tight Seam Gas (TSG) are transported to the site on trucks via
permanent all-weather and gravel access tracks once all transport permits are obtained. In addition, a 1
ha camp site is also constructed close to the well site for drilling personnel. Drilling is conducted over a
period of approximately 60 to 70 days at depths of up to 4,400 m. During this phase cement is pumped
into the well between the steel lining and the rock face to create an impermeable barrier between
wellbore and any intersected aquifers. Once drilling is complete, a wellhead is installed.

The well pad size required and drilling equipment is larger than those used for CSG exploration. The well
sites, approximately 3 ha each, comprise a cleared gravel drill pad with three depressions for the drilling
sump, a flare pit and a drill-water supply pond/stimulation pond.

7.1.5. Pilot Well Testing

Pilot well testing occurs as part of the exploration and appraisal program for the QCLNG Project and pilot
well testing (approximately 5% of total wells) typically is for 6 to 12 months duration. Pilot wells are
expected to flare approximately 40 million standard cubic feet (mmscf) of CSG (methane) during the test
period.

The stack for well site flares are between 2 m and 6 m high, are between 150 mm and 250 mm in
diameter and are designed to comply with all relevant standards. The flares are elevated and have a
sterile radius which is validated through radiation modelling (with a nominal radius of 20 m). This sterile
radius is cleared of all vegetation so there are no ignition hazards in a flaring event. Pilot well flares are
continuous during testing.

7.1.6. Operation of Wells

Wells are equipped with instrumentation and telemetry that transmits information, including production
and gas flow data, to a central control room. The primary function of the control room is to manage and
balance production against market demand, as well as provide a central point for managing and
responding to field-based emergencies. Triggers for a shutdown include potential well leaks and
production constraints.

Surface production facilities consist of a well pad fitted out with the wellhead, HPU driven progressive
cavity pump (PCP), pipe work, valves and fittings, gas/water separator, vent stack, control, monitoring
and safeguarding instrumentation.

A wellhead seals casing strings and isolates the underground fluids (gas and water), from the surface. A
wellhead is usually installed when the well is completed. Wellheads are typically rated to withstand 2,000
pounds per square inch (PSI), with typical maximum pressures experienced up to 700 PSI. A free-flowing
wellhead is likely to experience higher pressures.

A two-phase (water/gas) separator fitted to each well separates and channels water and gas into
separate gathering systems. This vessel has a design pressure of 125 PSI and is rated for 4 million
standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) (113,300 Sm/day) of gas and 2,000 barrels (318 m) of water per
day. The HDP cavity pump uses a gas or diesel engine to pump water from the wells until such time as
the wells may be converted to free flowing. Figure 9 shows an operating well configuration with wellhead,
engine for hydraulic lift pump and separator.

The upstream flow and pressure control system is designed to manage the entire upstream system (wells
via FCS and CPP to market) without the need for venting of gas. In addition, control and safeguarding
instrumentation is provided to shut down the facilities (including wells and compressors) upon threat of

any excursion from the controlled envelope. As the ultimate protection, relief devices are provided to
cover the exceptional situations when both normal and shutdown layers of control have failed to maintain
system control. To ensure safe disposal of any irregular venting and relief or blowdown flows, elevated
flares with sterile areas are provided at the FCSs, and are elevated sufficiently to ensure safe radiation
intensities in the immediate vicinity.

Figure 9: Operating Well Configuration

7.1.7. Well Stimulation

It is not anticipated that wells in the Jordan Project Area will require stimulation. However, in the future, if
a well is producing below expectations it may be scheduled for hydraulic stimulation following the general
process described below.

Hydraulic fracture stimulation is a process using high-pressure pumps to inject stimulation fluid into wells
to open and connect tiny cracks already present in CSG reservoirs, known as natural fractures or cleats.
Sand is used to keep the created fractures open, and is referred to as a proppant. Hydraulic fracture
stimulation fluid comprises water, sand and a minor amount of chemicals that aid the stimulation process
(e.g. viscosifiers, surfactants, pH control agents) and biocides that inhibit biological fouling and
subsequent downhole corrosion. Water and sand comprise more than 99% of the stimulation fluid and
chemical additives comprise less than 1%. QGC has implemented a Hydraulic Stimulation Risk
Assessment and Management Plan (QCLNG-BX00-ENV-PLN-000022) for well stimulation activities,
including the use of well stimulation chemicals and radioactive tracers. This describes the stimulation
process, potential risks from well stimulation and methods to manage and mitigate potential stimulation
risks.

Each well in which stimulation is conducted will require a pond or above ground storage tank. The
stimulation pond has a construction footprint of approximately 1 ha, and an operational footprint of
2
approximately 2,000 to 5,000 m . Stimulation ponds are designed to contain the volume of stimulation
fluid required without exceeding the approximately/typically freeboard limit of 300 mm. Stimulation ponds
are lined with HDPE. All stimulation ponds used during the well stimulation process will be
decommissioned and rehabilitated. Used liner will be recycled or transferred to an approved waste
disposal facility.

Revision 3 Nov 2014

Stimulation by propellant perforating utilises downhole combustion of solid propellant to create


approximately 10m perforation channels that connect the well bore to the existing fracture network within
the coal seams, enhancing production from CSG reservoirs. The process is similar to standard well
perforation in terms of deployment but with higher energy used in the actual perforation. The equipment is
typically deployed on wireline or tubing depending on the perforation requirements and well configuration.

7.1.8. Well Workovers

Wells are worked over reinstate production as required or to optimise the production from a well. In
addition to the initial workover, maintenance workovers are carried out as required. Workovers generally
require a workover rig (similar to, but smaller than, a drilling rig) to enable well flushes, pump changes
and other necessary work. Well workovers generally take about three days and the procedure is as
follows:

Bleed the well down and kill the well with water;
Pull the rodstring out of the hole;
Pull the tubulars and pump out of the hole;
Run in hole with a drill bit to clean out solids from the well using water and air; and
Run a new pump and production tubulars back into the hole.

It is very rare that gas is released in any measurable quantity during a workover. Gas is released in very
small volumes during the well pressure blow down and potentially while cleaning out the well with air. The
blowdown volume is expected to be within a range of nil to 25,000 scf per well depending on numerous
production, reservoir, and wellbore variables.

Wells are monitored continuously and maintained on a regular basis. Gas and water levels and pressures
of the wells are recorded as are the gas and water volumes produced from the well bore. Engines, gas
gathering lines, flares/vents, separators and PCP drive units in the field are regularly inspected and
maintained. A telemetry system provides real-time monitoring of performance to allow trending for
maintenance planning. Maintenance of the separator and the associated equipment between the
wellhead and gathering system includes:

Flushing the separator to clean out the silt and coal fines;
Cleaning coal fines and silt from the strainer;
Valve replacement for faulty or worn valves;
Cleaning of gas/water vents and replacement of worn o-ring seals in these vents;
Replacement of faulty or worn separator gauges;
Replacement of o-ring fittings;
Maintenance or repair of safety valves;
Maintenance of meter and hammer union fittings; and
Changing of orifice plates.

7.2. Gas Transport and Processing Infrastructure

7.2.1. Gas Gathering Lines

Gas gathering lines connect wells to FCSs. The total length of gas gathering lines required by 31
December 2019 is estimated at 487 km.

The gas gathering system design details are:

Design life of 20 years;


A combination of 160 mm, 315 mm, 450 mm and 630 mm HDPE pipe will be used as required and in
accordance with AS 4130;

1 Jan 2015 to 31 Dec 2019
Environmental Authority EPPG00889613
QCQGC-BX00-ENV-PLN-000007
Revision 3 Nov 2014

No coating or cathodic protection apart from carbon steel facilities;


Design temperature of 10 to 50C, design pressure 500 kPag;
Low point drains installed on gas gathering lines to remove any free water condensed from the gas;
and
No pigging facilities installed.

Gas gathering lines are divided into the following types:

Gas flowlines from wells to gas laterals receiving flow from a local group of wells;
Gas laterals collecting gas from a number of wells and feeding to a gas header; and
Gas headers collect from a number of laterals and feed to a FCS.

Where multiple gas flowlines merge, they enter a single larger gas header. Multiple gas headers may run
in parallel in the same right of way (RoW) as they approach the FCS from different areas of a gas field.

Gas flowlines will:

Generally be 160 mm, 315 mm or 450 mm in diameter;


Have a standard dimensional ratio (SDR) of 13.6; and
Have a nominal capacity range of 1 to 2 mmscfd.

Gas headers and laterals will:

Generally be 315 mm, 450 mm or 630 mm in diameter as required;


Have a SDR of between 9 to 21; and
Have a nominal capacity range of 10 to 15 mmscfd.

The following activities are involved in the installation of gathering lines from wells to a FCS:

The RoW is cleared of vegetation and topsoil is stripped and stockpiled.


Excavations are by chain-type trencher, spider plough or excavator. The trench width varies from 750
mm to 1,050 mm, with a depth of cover of pipe ranging from 750 mm to 1,200 mm.
The pipe is strung out on the RoW.
The pipe is welded together using a fast fusion type welding device. The welding is assessed under
QGC's quality management function, for example, welders' assessments and competency are
reviewed, welds are cut and laboratory tested for success/failure rates depending on the experience of
the welder.
The HDPE pipe will be laid to at least a depth of cover of 750 mm as required by AS 2566.2-2002.
Pipe is installed directly into the trench or by using the spider plough. The larger diameter pipe lengths
of up to 20 m will be joined by butt fusion welding or by electrofusion. In areas of rock, pipe is padded
for protection.
The pipe is left for 24 hours to ensure the weld is maximum strength. The pipe is then installed into the
trench.
Pressure and leak testing (hydro testing) is conducted.
The trench is backfilled, which involves replacing all excavated material back in the trench over the
pipe and wheel-rolling the trench line to ensure sufficient compaction. Topsoil is then re-spread.
RoW patrols monitor for any subsidence to identify the need for repair and communications are had
with stakeholders as required.
During the process of laying the gathering line, a trace wire is also laid into the ground. The trace wire
allows detection of the pipe from the surface with a specialised instrument. Care is taken to lay the trace
wire directly under the pipe so that it provides an accurate representation of the pipes location.
Progressive construction of the gathering system is undertaken by multiple crews of workers. It is
expected that up to 2 km of pipeline will be laid per day in good conditions per team or workfront.

Revision 3 Nov 2014

The majority of gas gathering lines (greater than 80%) will be located in the same RoW as water
gathering lines. The gathering system route is selected in consultation with affected landholders and will
use previously cleared or disturbed areas where possible. The UDP is used to inform the gathering
system route selection of areas of environmental, cultural or social significance, which are avoided where
possible. It is not always possible with linear infrastructure to avoid all areas that have very high or high
constraints, especially constraints that are linear in nature such as watercourses.

To minimise the need for maintenance of the HDPE gathering system lines, all lines are inspected above
ground prior to burial. This includes checking the integrity of welds and pipeline for any structural failures.
Once this check is completed, the pipeline is lowered into a trench and buried. Isolation valves are
installed at strategic locations to enable the lines to be isolated in the event of an emergency.

Surface structures including manifolds, end-of-line risers and isolation valves are inspected under an
integrity management plan. Water will collect at low points as the gas flows along the pipes. Low-point
drain (LPD) water is a result of water vapour from entrained water in the gas collecting and pooling in low
points. LPDs are required to allow for periodic servicing and removal of excess water within the gas
pipeline networks. Captured water quality is of good quality as it is condensate from water that is
entrained with the gas and drops out when the gas cools. The LPD water will be released to land in
accordance with the EA conditions.

QGC only releases water from low-point drains to land if it meets the quality parameters set out in the EA.
Field testing is carried out prior to planning any release to land. Where the indicator parameters exceed
the release limit, no release is permitted. The Field Environment Officer or Operator will make
arrangements to capture and transfer the low-point waters to a suitable untreated water storage pond.

7.2.2. Upstream Infrastructure Corridor

The UIC runs from the Ruby CPP to the Bellevue CPP and contains one or more linear infrastructure
items including gas and water gathering lines, trunklines, power lines, access tracks and/or fibre optic
cables along its route. The UIC located within the Jordan Project Area contains the following
infrastructure:

Up to three gas trunklines;


One water trunkline;
Gas and water gathering lines;
Underground 33 kV powerlines;
Above ground 132 kV power lines;
Access tracks; and
Fibre optic cable.

The total length of the UIC within the Jordan Project Area is approximately 35 km long. For safety and
access reasons, a 60 m wide RoW is required for above ground 132 kV power lines and a minimum
separation distance of 50 m is required between a steel pipeline and a 132 kV power line. Where the UIC
and 132 kV above ground powerline corridor are adjacent, the RoW in the Jordan block is approximately
100 m wide. Where the corridors are not adjacent, the UIC width varies between 28 and 36 m.

7.2.3. Field Compression Stations

The purpose of a FCS is to compress gas received from wells for transfer along the gas trunk lines to a
CPP. Two FCSs have been constructed on Kenya East and Jammat. Each FCS will comprise:

Gas compression systems with:


o Up to 4 screw compressors with electric motor drives (variable speed);
o Up to 4 air cooled heat exchangers; and
o Nitrogen generator and instrument air.

Revision 3 Nov 2014

Electricity substation with transformers and switchboards;


Diesel-fuelled emergency back-up generator for essential equipment, including communications;
Pipework, including gas metering systems, buried gathering lines, trunklines and pig launcher;
Construction infrastructure comprising site offices, laydown areas, workshops, civil works, car park,
etc;
Vent or flare, (including sterile radius);
Oily water management systems;
Communications systems, security controls and lighting;
Emergency Shut Down (ESD), and Fire and Gas systems; and
Inlet separation to remove free water.

Typically the combination of the above infrastructure requires an operational footprint of approximately 5
ha, with an additional minimum area of approximately 2 ha required for construction working areas
dependant on site conditions (e.g. topography). Concrete foundations will be provided for all major
equipment (e.g. compressor skids). The remainder of the site will be gravel hardstand. Vegetation and
topsoil will be removed with soils stockpiled separately for use in the rehabilitation of the site. Each FCS
is fenced.

Each compressor unit has associated coolers and separators, to provide compression of gas from 172
kPag to a maximum of 2,100 kPag. Using a multiple gas compression unit arrangement allows for
isolation of equipment/units during maintenance, inspections and shutdown activities whilst maintaining
partial production. Each compressor is situated at the required separation distance to allow for safe
construction and operation.

The FCS compressors and motors may be housed in an acoustic enclosure where required and where
feasible and practicable. The enclosure incorporates air purge fans to maintain temperature and meet
requirements for hazardous areas. Fire and gas detection systems will automatically shut down the
affected unit and de-pressurise the high pressure gas inventory upon detection of fire or a confirmed gas
leak.

Approximately 20 L of corrosion inhibitor is required per day and approximately 2,000 L is generally
stored on site. Approximately 1,000 L of screw compressor oil is stored on site. Bunding will be installed
around the units that have potential to cause contamination, including compressors, motors, transformers,
nitrogen generator and oil/fuel storage. Any condensed water that has been removed from the gas at the
FCS and any stormwater from bunded areas is passed through an oily water separation system and
clean water is pumped to a Water Treatment Plant (WTP) or disposed off-site. Separated oil will be
transported by a licensed waste disposal contractor to an appropriate off-site facility. Stormwater from
non-bunded hardstand areas drains to the environment. A perimeter drain diverts stormwater to natural
drainage points.

Communication systems include towers, approximately 30 m high at all FCSs, where these are not co-
located with a CPP. Low level lighting is installed as required. The FCS sites are not generally manned as
monitoring, control and communications facilities provide process control of the FCSs by operators
located in a central control facility. Operators and technicians visit the sites regularly for inspection and
maintenance purposes.

Fabrication and installation of pipe work and equipment consists of:


The lifting (on and off truck where applicable), transport, un-crating, assembly, and installation of all
equipment;
Installation of pipe supports on concrete footings with supports to include pipe clamps and saddles;
Installation of all pipe work, flanges, blind flanges, spectacle blinds, gaskets, plugs, fittings and other
materials and consumables;
Trenching for and coating of underground pipe work, backfilling and removal of surplus soil;
Installation of magnesium anodes for cathodic protection of underground pipe work;

Supply and installation of vents;


Installation of all mechanical items;
Levelling, shimming and grouting of all items being erected on concrete footings;
Installation of instrument gas supply lines going to pneumatically-driven equipment, valves and
instruments; and
Instrumentation and electrical installations.

The following equipment is fabricated or packaged off-site:

Screw compressors units, consisting of the following packages:


o Compressor skid, including electric drive motor, rotary screw compressor, oil and water
separators, and lubrication system;
o Compressor oil coolers and gas after cooler air-cooled heat exchangers complete with variable
speed fans; and
o Noise enclosure constructed on site.
Tanks;
Instrument Equipment Room containing control and ESD systems (internal equipment installed prior to
shipment to site);
Air compressor and nitrogen generation unit skid package;
Electrical switch room;
Flare stacks; and
Small diesel generator.

7.2.4. Gas Trunklines

Gas trunklines transfer compressed gas from a FCS to a CPP, where the gas is further compressed.
Individual gas trunklines will be installed to connect each FCSs to the Jordan CPP. The total length of gas
trunklines required by 31 December 2019 is estimated at 24.2 km and is shown in Table 5. Co-location
with water trunkline(s), underground 33 kV powerlines and fibre optic cables occurs where possible, with
a RoW width of 30 m.

Table 5: Gas Trunklines to 31 December 2019


Approx. Length at 31 Dec
RoW Start Point RoW End Point Status
2019 (km)
Kenya East & Jammat FCSs UIC Existing 0.2
Lauren FCS Jordan CPP Proposed 24
Total 24.2

The following activities are undertaken in the installation of gas trunklines:

The RoW is cleared of vegetation and topsoil stripped and stockpiled;


All-weather and temporary access tracks are constructed, where required, along with pipe laydown
areas;
The trench is dug by chain-type digger or small excavator direct to the ground. The trench width is only
as wide as required for safe construction. For the largest diameter gas and water trunklines, this will be
approximately 1.1 m wide and with a depth of up to 2 m;
Topsoil and subsoil from the trench are stockpiled separately;
Pipe lengths of up to 20 m are joined by welding (steel);
Welds are cured. The pipe is left to cure to ensure the weld can reach maximum strength and will then
be lowered into the trench;
Ancillary infrastructure such as pig launchers and meter stations are constructed;
Pressure and leak testing (e.g. hydro testing) will be conducted;

Environmental Authority EPPG00889613
QCQGC-BX00-ENV-PLN-000007
Revision 3 Nov 2014

The trench is backfilled, which involves replacing all excavated material back in the trench over the
pipe and wheel-rolling the trench line to ensure sufficient compaction to minimise subsidence. Topsoil
is then re-spread; and
Given the soil has been disturbed, there is regular communication with easement stakeholders and
RoW patrols will monitor any subsidence for repair.

Machinery required to conduct the above activities includes excavators, graders, trenching machines,
side booms, welding truck, boring machines and dump trucks.

Pipe will be laid to a minimum depth of cover of 750 mm in accordance with AS 2885. Trunklines will be
hydro tested prior to commissioning. Hydro testing involves the pumping of water under pressure into the
pipeline to determine whether there are any pressure losses and therefore any leaks in the pipeline. This
testing is undertaken over smaller lengths of the pipeline where possible to minimise the overall quantity
of water needed. Water sourced may be either from CSG water with low Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) or
from bores, or other approved sources depending on location and availability.

Chemical additives are not always required for hydro testing pipelines; however additives such as
corrosion inhibitors and biocides are used for the testing of steel pipes. Approximately 0.3 ML of water is
required per kilometre of 600 mm trunkline. For small pipe diameters, proportionally less water will be
required. Water may be reused along sections of trunkline.

The trunklines will be operational on a continuous basis. The project life from construction through
operation to decommissioning and rehabilitation is expected to be at least 20 years. Routine monitoring
and auditing of trunk lines will be conducted. Trunkline RoWs will be progressively rehabilitated; however,
areas above pipelines will need to remain free of deep rooted vegetation to maintain pipeline integrity. An
access track will be maintained within the RoW besides the trunk lines.

Gas trunklines are designed, constructed and operated in accordance with AS 2885 Pipelines Gas and
Liquid Petroleum. Specifications for the Jordan Project Area gas trunklines are likely to comprise the
following:

Generally be 350 to 600 mm in diameter;


Class 300;
Carbon Steel (API-5L X42);
External coating using a dual layer fusion bonded epoxy;
Minimum 20 year design life;
Maximum allowable operating pressure of 2,413 kpa;
Specified minimum yield stress of 290 Mpa;
Capacity ranging between 40 mmscfd and 80 mmscfd; and
An impressed current cathodic protection system will be used in conjunction with a dual layer fusion
bonded epoxy coating to protect the pipeline from corrosion. The impressed cathodic protection
system will be powered by grid power or generators if grid power is unavailable.

Other key design features of the trunkline systems include the following:

Permanent pig launcher and receiver facilities;


Capability for intelligent pigging;
High capacity blowdown to flare at the CPPs;
Either individual trunklines for each FCS, running in parallel to the CPP or, where viable, networking of
trunklines feeding a CPP;
Corrosion management system; and
RoW design incorporates other linear infrastructure service requirement, such as water, power and
fibre optic cable.

7.2.5. Central Processing Plant

The purpose of the CPP is to compress and dehydrate the gas for delivery to the high pressure Collection
Header and Export Pipelines. The CPP receives gas from FCSs via gas trunklines. Gas is pressurised to
its export pressure (~10 MPag), dehydrated and metered. Within the Jordan Project Area, all gas will
report to the Jordan CPP. The design life of the Jordan CPP is 25 years.

The CPP construction footprint is approximately 20 ha in total. This represents the minimum area
required to safely and efficiently site all the components required for CPP operation. Other distinct areas
within the facility boundary include:

Gas compression comprising:


o Centrifugal compressors, electric motor drives with air coolers with electrically driven fans;
o Gas dehydration triethylene glycol (TEG) units (including nitrogen generator, instrument room,
air compressors and minor chemical / fuel storage);
Substation with transformers and switchyards;
Flare, including sterile radius around flare;
Pipework, including buried trunklines and above ground pig receivers;
Car park, office and utility building; and
Construction area including construction site offices, laydown areas, workshops, civil works etc.

The Jordan CPP will have two gas compression trains. Each train comprises a single 2-stage electric
motor driven centrifugal compressor set with associated coolers and separators, to provide compression
of gas from 1,200 kPag to 10,200 kPag and a capacity of 220 mmscfd per compressor, or 440 mmscfd for
the two units combined. Utilising a gas compression train arrangement allows for isolation of
equipment/units during maintenance, inspections and shutdown activities whilst maintaining partial
production.

Dehydration of the compressed gas is done using TEG units. The gas is dehydrated by the absorption of
water vapour into the liquid desiccant TEG. The gas is passed upwards through a column containing TEG
flowing downwards and this extracts the water allowing dry gas to pass to metering and onto the pipeline.
The TEG is then regenerated by evaporating the water using electrical heaters. The TEG is circulated
using dual electrically-powered pumps.

The CPP site will not normally be manned; however an Operations Centre will accommodate local
operations personnel and will include workshops and warehousing. Monitoring, control and
communications facilities will provide for process control of the CPP by operators located in the
Operations Centre. Operators and technicians will visit the CPP site from time to time for operation and
maintenance purposes.

The following equipment is likely to be fabricated or packaged off-site:

Centrifugal compressors units, consisting of the following packages:


o Compressor skid;
o Electric motor;
o Noise enclosure (potentially constructed on site);
o Variable speed electric drives and unit control panel, shipped loose for installation in the switch
room on site;
Compressor inter-stage air-cooled heat exchangers (walkways, ladders and support legs are shipped
loose);
Vessel / tanks (instruments shipped loose for site installation);
TEG Regeneration Package;

Air compressor skid packages;
Nitrogen generation unit skid packages;
Electrical switch room (internal equipment installed prior to shipment to site) transported as one unit or
in a number of sections;
Flare stack;
Backup diesel generator skid; and
Potable water and service water pumps skid.

7.2.6. Power Supply

The Jordan CPP will be connected to the National Electricity Market (the grid). The Braemar Substation
(not a QGC substation) will supply power via 275 kV above ground power lines to a substation at the
Ruby CPP (Ruby substation). Approval for 275 kV power lines will be sought by the relevant power
provider.

The Ruby substation will transform the power from 275 kV to 132 kV for supply to the Jordan CPP via
above ground power lines. It will also convert power to 33 kV for supply to the FCSs in the Jordan Project
Area via predominantly underground power lines. The above ground 132 kV power line will be supported
by concrete or steel poles approximately 24 m high. They will require a minimum separation distance of
50 m from a steel pipeline and a 60 m wide RoW.

Diesel generators with a dedicated diesel day tank will be supplied in order to provide back-up of 400 V /
230 V essential services. An uninterruptible power supply will be provided for maintaining control and
ESD systems in the event of loss of mains and back-up diesel power.

7.3. Water Management Infrastructure

7.3.1. Introduction to CSG Water Management

The volume of CSG water extracted from production wells is markedly variable and is based on
permeability, hydrostatic pressure, saturation, proximity to other wells and local geological and
hydrological conditions. Water production volumes peak at the commencement of well operation, while
gas production peaks after the first one to two years of operation.

Figure 10 illustrates the water transfer, storage and treatment network. Water is collected at wells,
transferred in a water gathering line to infield storages where provided or more commonly to RSPs. Water
is then transferred in a water trunkline from the RSP to a raw water pond located adjacent to a WTP,
where the CSG water is treated using reverse osmosis (RO) technology. Further treatment includes a
brine concentrator which will receive concentrated RO reject from the WTP and separate this into a more
concentrated brine stream and a purified water stream for beneficial reuse.

QGC is implementing an extensive groundwater monitoring network to establish baseline quality and
quantity measures in various aquifers.

7.3.2. Water Use at Wells

During drilling water is used for primary well control, transportation of cuttings and washing and
conditioning of the well hole. This water is delivered in tanker trucks with the required volume being in the
3
order of 50,000 L (50 m ) per well.

Jordan Project Area Plan of Operations
1 Jan 2015 to 31 Dec 2019
Environmental Authority EPPG00889613
QCQGC-BX00-ENV-PLN-000007
Revision 3 Nov 2014

The water is stored on site either in water trucks, tanks or in constructed drill pits/sumps. Where drill pits
are used they are constructed with upslope drainage to divert stormwater run-off around the pit. The drill
cuttings are collected and stored on site in drill pits.

Drill pits are dewatered and backfilled as soon as possible on completion of the drilling. Only firm drill
cuttings, with near neutral pH, and hardened cement slurry residue remain in the drill pits, if used. The
drill pits are backfilled and any remaining cuttings covered with at least 1 m of soil. Back-filled pits are
compacted into mounds to allow for future subsidence. A layer of topsoil is spread across areas disturbed
by pit excavation. Each drill rig has a mud tank to control water flows, act as a safety control device and
improve process efficiency.

Pilot production testing may involve the drilling of approximately three to five wells in close proximity, with
a pond for coal seam water for each production test site. To reduce the number of exploration and
appraisal (E & A) ponds a larger pond may be constructed to hold the water from a number of test
locations within one production site area. Gathering lines to transport the water from the wellhead to the
pond are also required.

Production testing periods vary, but typically for CSG in a highly prospective area, a minimum of 3
months and to 12 months and beyond may be required depending on the results in the area. Small E & A
ponds will be required as part of production testing. Production testing periods vary, but typically for CSG
in a highly prospective area, a minimum of 3 months and up to 12 months may be required depending on
the results in the area. Small E & A ponds are required as part of production testing.

7.3.3. Water Gathering Lines

The CSG water produced from well development is connected to a water gathering system. The total
length of water gathering lines required by 31 December 2019 is approximately 486km. The installation of
water gathering lines follows the same process as the gas gathering lines.

The water gathering lines will have the following design details:

Design life of 20 years;


Pipe material comprises a combination of 160 mm, 315 mm, 450 mm and 630 mm HDPE pipe, in
accordance with AS 4130;
Design temperature of 10 to 50C;
Design pressure 500 kPag;
High point vents installed on water gathering lines to remove free gas released from the water in the
pipeline; and
No pigging facilities installed.

Water gathering lines comprise the following types:

Water flowlines from wells to water lateral collecting water from a group of wells;
Water laterals feed into a water header taking flow from a number of laterals; and
Water headers feed to an infield storage pond where provided or RSP.

Multiple water headers may run in parallel as they approach the infield storage ponds or RSPs from
different areas of a gas field.

7.3.4. Water Trunklines

Water trunklines transfer water from the RSP to raw water ponds and WTPs. The total length of water
trunklines required by 31 December 2019 is estimated at 8.4 km (refer Table 6). Co-location is assumed
to occur with gas trunklines wherever possible. The installation of water trunklines follows the same
process as the gas trunklines.

Water trunkline specifications are as the following:

300 to 960 mm diameter;


Concrete lined carbon steel;
Minimum 20 years design life from first LNG production;
Nominally sized to limit the maximum flow velocity to between 2 to 3 m/s as an initial estimate;
Flowmeters at each end to detect leaks;
Pressure indication at the inlet;
Back pressure control valve may be installed at the end of the trunkline if elevation changes may result
in significant negative static pressure being experienced;
Surge protection to prevent damage of the pipeline due to water hammer; and
Combination air / vacuum vents installed at all high points for removal of gas and to prevent boiling of
liquids due to vacuum formation

7.3.5. Infield Storages, Regional Storage Ponds and CSG Water Storage Ponds

Infield storages can comprise either tanks or ponds and are estimated to have capacity between 1 ML
and 15 ML and a footprint of less than 1 ha per storage. RSPs will balance water flows between wells and
CSG water storage ponds located en route to the WTP. RSPs will provide buffer storage at peak water, in
the case of a localised disruption to water delivery. Pump stations are installed at the RSPs to transfer
water into the water trunklines to the WTP.

7.3.6. Non-regulated Dams and Regulated Dams

The hazard category of each pond is determined by a suitably qualified and experienced person. Ponds
classified as Non-regulated Dams (or Low Hazard Dams) are designed and constructed, operated and
maintained in accordance with accepted engineering standards appropriate for the purpose for which they
are intended. All Non-regulated dams have floor and sides made of material to contain the wetting front
and any entrained contaminants within the bounds of the containment system during its operational life,
including any period of decommissioning and rehabilitation.

Ponds classified as high or significant consequence (previously hazard) are Regulated Dams. Regulated
Dams are constructed in accordance with EA requirements and the DEHP guidelines as amended from
time to time. They are typically constructed as balanced cut-to-fill with suitable excavated material from
the pond floor being used to construct a four-sided compacted earth fill embankment. Ponds are
constructed as enclosed structures with no external catchment.

QGC maintains a Regulated Dam Register as required by the EA conditions. Dams are entered in the
register when design plans or Consequence Assessments have been lodged with DEHP. Table 7
presents the estimated capacity and area and category of regulated ponds within the Jordan Project Area
expected to be constructed before 31 December 2019.

7.3.7. Operation and Monitoring of Untreated Water Storage Ponds

Monitoring and inspection of regulated ponds takes place in accordance with QGCs pond operating plans
and monitoring procedures. Pond audits are conducted by a suitably qualified person and reported to the
DEHP in accordance with the EP Act. QGC also has a detailed Groundwater Monitoring Program that has
been implemented at the Jordan Project Area.

7.3.8. Water Treatment

CSG water produced from the Jordan Project Area will be transferred to the Central WTP for treatment.
The Central WTP is authorised under the Kenya EA EPPG00878413 and details can be found in the
Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas Plan of Operations (QCQGC-BX00-ENV-PLN-000006).

7.4. Waste Management Infrastructure

7.4.1. Sewage Treatment Works

Sewage treatment infrastructure will be located close to the Jordan CPP and at the Kenya East
accommodation camp. Effluent from the STPs will be used to irrigate defined areas in accordance with
EA. The Kenya East STP will have a capacity of 120 kL/d and the Jordan CPP STP will have a capacity
of 50 kL/d. The total combined area of the two STPs (including effluent irrigation areas) is approximately
15 ha.

7.4.2. Other Waste

Waste is managed by QGC in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Protection (Waste
Management) Policy 2000 and the Environmental Protection (Waste Management) Regulation 2013 (Qld)
and the QGCs Waste Tracking Procedure (QCOPS-BX00-ENV-PCE-000001) which applies to both
construction and operational activities.

Currently there is no fixed waste management infrastructure in the Jordan Project Area. The area
contains a number of small waste aggregation yards where bins for various solid waste materials are
stored. Site personnel empty waste into these bins and waste is collected by waste management
contractors. Waste management practise in the Jordan Project Area involves collection of Solid Waste,
Solid Recyclables and Liquid Waste, contracted to established mainstream waste management
contractors. Post collection, the waste contractors manage each material via their procedure under
established waste industry standard practices.

7.5. Ancillary Activities

7.5.1. Accommodation Camps

Two accommodation camps are built in the Kenya East and Jammat blocks and accommodate the
majority of personnel involved in the construction of gas field infrastructure including trunklines in the
Jordan Project Area. The Kenya East camp will accommodate approximately 600 personnel and will
occupy an approximate area of 25 ha. In addition, the camp located in the vicinity of the Jordon CPP
accommodates up to 250 personnel involved in the construction of the CPP and surrounding
infrastructure. The nominal area occupied by this camp will be 10 ha. The camps will comprise the
following:

One ensuite room per person;


Kitchens / diners;
Recreation facilities;
Parking facilities and loading docks;
Covered walkways;
Laundry facilities;
Bus pick up and drop off points;
Offices and maintenance areas;
Communication systems;
Medical and emergency response facilities;
Waste collection facilities;
Water supply bores
Water storage and treatment facilities
Power generation area, offset from the camp;
Utilities yard; and
Waste water treatment facilities.

QCQGC-BX00-ENV-PLN-000007
Revision 3 Nov 2014

All buildings will be modular transportable units. Operations personnel are likely to be housed at the same
camp used during construction. Power supply to the accommodation camp will be from diesel or gas
generators until a connection to the Jordan CPP substation is made.

7.5.2. Mobile Construction, Drilling and Completion Camps

Approximately 20 to 25 personnel are involved in drilling a well, with approximately 10 people on site at
any one time during a 12 hour shift. A drilling camp, with temporary accommodation for up to 30
personnel, is required for each well, although one camp may be used over different periods as wells
within the vicinity of the camp are drilled. Each camp is powered by diesel generators, using
approximately 300 L of fuel per day. All camp waste is collected on site and transported to an
appropriately licensed waste disposal facility.

Treated sewage effluent from the mobile construction, drilling and completions camps will be released to
land where it meets the EA conditions or directed to on-site storage or lawfully disposed off-site when
weather conditions prevent release to land. Drilling camps are not typically located on the well pad for
health and safety reasons. They will be located in proximity to a group of wells scheduled for drilling.

Small construction camps (similar to drilling camps) may be located at regional pond sites in situations
where the workforce is located too far from the main accommodation camp sites. These construction
camps are located within the pond construction site for a period of between six and eight months and will
be removed once construction is complete.

This process may also be adopted for other infrastructure where the facilitation of the proposed workforce
cannot be accommodated practicably in the main camps and where remote location results in increased
HSSE risks.

7.5.3. Chemical Storage


3
The construction and operations phase of the project will involve the storage of greater than 500 m of
petroleum and oil products, including diesel. Chemicals are stored in covered bunded areas with
appropriate isolation from other chemicals and materials (in accordance with all other requirements in
relevant regulations and Australian Standards). The bunded areas are designed so that if two or more
incompatible chemicals or fuels spill, the materials cannot combine.

All chemical truck unloading bays are located next to their chemical storage facilities, sized to
accommodate the full length of the delivery vehicle. A spillage basin and lined concrete sump are
provided to collect spillage and drainage during the unloading operation. All stormwater is diverted from
the bunded area. A fixed or portable pump will be available on site to manage disposal of spilt chemical
wastes in an environmentally appropriate manner.

7.5.4. Access Tracks

Access tracks are required for access to well sites, gathering line RoWs, trunkline RoWs and major
infrastructure. The Constraints Protocol in the UDP is used when planning new access tracks in order to
minimise environmental harm. In general, access tracks follow the routes of gathering and trunkline
RoWs.

Access tracks are usually 10 m wide to allow for a workover rig to access well sites over the life of the
project, other than where project conditions require a reduction in width. Where required, improvements
will be made to existing access roads. Major access tracks will be sealed with bitumen or converted to all-
weather access. It is estimated that 421 km of access track will be required in total within the Jordan

7.5.5. Communications Infrastructure

One permanent communications tower is in the Jordan Project Area. The Jordan Communications Tower
is located on QGC owned land in the Jordan block and is approximately 80m high.

7.5.6. Laydown Areas

There are no major laydown areas proposed in the Jordan Project Area. Smaller areas may be required
for use as laydowns in the future depending on project development schedules to support the
development phase.

7.5.7. Borrow Pits

Borrow pits will be developed as necessary to provide aggregates for the construction of project
infrastructure. The location of borrow pits depends on a variety of factors including:

Whether a source of suitable quarry material can be identified from within QGCs tenements, or failing
this, within the local area or region;
The significance of impacts to the local environment; and
The significance of impacts on roads and traffic from transporting quarry material should the quarry
material be sourced from local or regional sources.

In the absence of sufficient geotechnical information to determine where borrow pits could successfully be
established, QGC originally proposed in its EA application a base case of one borrow pit per block.

However, with the advancement of the QCLNG Project and level of geotechnical information available in
respect of the project area, QGC and its contractors have determined that the base case identified in the
application is not implementable. This is predominantly because a suitable amount of material is not
always available in each block and because the operational implications resulting from required truck
movements to transport material from centralised borrow pits to construction fronts (including potential
social and safety impacts) are prohibitive. This has resulted in QGC utilising a greater number of smaller-
sized borrow pits.

These smaller borrow pits will be established at locations containing the target material with the least
environmental and social constraints. As part of this process, existing landholder borrow pits are identified
and used where possible to minimise the need for further disturbance.

When determining the location of borrow pits, potential sites will be assessed on a case by case basis
through the UDP and utilising the findings of the geotechnical investigation, to determine the appropriate
size and depth of the borrow pit. The aim of this undertaking is to minimise the environmental disturbance
and impacts resulting from borrow pit development by identifying the maximum amount of available
material at that location.

The number of borrow pits required for the Jordan Project Area will depend on the area and depth of each
borrow pit and the quarry material it may supply. Approximately 13.46 ha have been constructed in the
Jordan Project Area. Approximately 0 ha of borrow will be opened up during the PoO period.

7.5.8. Concrete Batching Facilities

More than 200t of concrete products will be required within the project area each year. At least one
concrete batch facility will be established within the Jordan Project Area for construction of key
infrastructure.

It is likely that mobile concrete batching facilities will be used to facilitate efficiencies in construction
activities across the project area. Appropriately licensed contractors will be engaged to operate any
mobile concrete batching facilities to be used on site.

Revision 3 Nov 2014

All concrete batching facilities will be bunded to enable the collection of contaminants, including concrete
process and wash water, and contaminated stormwater. Where possible, contaminated water will be
reused in concrete production.

7.5.9. Abrasive Blasting and Surface Coating Activities

Abrasive blasting and surface coating activities are anticipated to be undertaken during construction and
ongoing maintenance of the authorised activities within the Jordan Project Area. Abrasive blasting is
required for the cleaning of equipment and structures using a stream of abrasives in either a wet or dry
pressure stream. Once cleaning has occurred, appropriate surface coating using materials such as paint
or powder coating will be applied.

7.5.10. Boilermaking or Engineering Activities

The production, fabrication, assembling, or building of metal products may occur within the Jordan Project
Area, associated with the construction of authorised infrastructure such as pump stations and pipelines.
All activities will be undertaken in accordance with the relevant manufacturing controls and/or standards.

8.0 ACTION PROGRAM


This action program, as required by Section 288 of the EP Act, outlines how QGC will comply with the
conditions of EA EPPG00889613.

QGC has a number of overarching systems and processes that are used to ensure compliance with state
and federal approvals relating to its activities as discussed below.

8.1. QGC Processes and Systems


The UDP is QGCs primary planning process used to deliver the upstream gas field into operation in a
manner that complies with its state and federal approvals (refer Figure 11). The UDP involves multiple
business areas and complex interfaces as upstream work scope progresses from desktop concept to
execution and operations.

8.2. Constraints Protocol


The UDP specifies the internal workflow and decision process to progress upstream scope through
planning to execution and operations. A central element of the UDP is QGCs Constraints Protocol which
was prepared under state environmental conditions and applies to the life of the project. As discussed in
Section 6, the Constraints Protocol is used to ensure wherever possible that infrastructure is located
within areas that require the least amount of significant disturbance to the environment. Mapping and pre-
clearance surveys are undertaken to identify the presence of environmental constraints and determine if
there are suitable alternative locations that will avoid or minimise potential impacts (refer Section 8.1.2.1
below). Constraints mapping is consolidated in QGCs GIS system and applied over the life of QCG
activities. The constraints mapping in GIS is updated as additional information becomes available.

8.2.1. Upstream Delivery Process Stages

The UDP comprises four key stages:

Integrated approvals for design;


Execution;
Start-up and hand-over; and
Operations.

8.2.1.1. Integrated Approvals for Design

The first stage of the UDP delivers integrated approvals of work scope. This is a strict internal process to
select and approve location of wells, infrastructure and field activities. All project infrastructure must be
approved through the UDP and, in particular, receive a series of functional endorsements culminating in
final approval. Among other things, this approval confirms that infrastructure locations are consistent with
the Constraints Protocol. Below are the key milestones that lead from an initial access and clearance
request through to final approval.

Proposed locations for infrastructure are documented and subject to multi-disciplinary review within QGC.
The locations are reviewed against the relevant constraints mapping held in the QGC GIS and a site
approvals team may further investigate identified or potential constraints. The investigation is usually
undertaken by a surveyor, a relevant construction representative, appropriately trained ecologists, cultural
heritage representative and a land access representative and appropriately qualified specialists where
required. Surveys may also be attended by landholders.

All site assessments and field ecological surveys:

Take into account and reference previous ecological surveys undertaken in the area and relevant new
information on likely presence or absence of constraints;

38
Jordan Project Area Plan of Operations
1 Jan 2015 to 31 Dec 2019
Environmental Authority EPPG00889613
QCQGC-BX00-ENV-PLN-000007
Revision 3 Nov 2014

Document the survey methodology, results and significant findings in relation to constraints; and
Apply industry accepted site assessment and ecological survey methods appropriate for each listed
threatened species, migratory species, their habitat and listed ecological communities.

Based on the result of survey, constraints and the proposed locations of infrastructure are confirmed. Site
data and reporting is collated and loaded into a second phase approvals package. Second phase
approval seeks to gain acceptance of the proposed alignment/siting from each of the internal QGC
disciplines prior to approaching the landholder for negotiations and agreements. It also confirms relevant
constraints, given approved location including any mitigation measures required as a consequence. The
second phase approval identifies any actions that must be implemented prior to final approval.

The final approval stage provides confirmation that land access has been secured and key outstanding
environmental permitting requirements are identified such that infrastructure can pass into execution
phase for final planning and construction. The final approval documentation includes non-standard or
infrastructure-specific conditions applying to construction and operation, including mitigation measures
required given local constraints identified through application of the Constraints Protocol.

8.2.1.2. Execution (Construction)

The execution Project Managers utilise the conditions provided in the final approval to issue directions to
contractors involved in constructing the infrastructure and to ensure compliance with all environmental, l
and Community conditions.

Conditions relating to the constraints identified above are specified in contractual documentation along
with approval conditions, QGC and BG Group standards, relevant management plans, operating
procedures, policies and processes to ensure the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP)
to be implemented by the contractor, reflects QGCs environmental commitments and obligations. To
ensure consistency in CEMP preparation reference is made to QGCs environmental performance
framework which sets out the minimum standard expected when a contractor submits their proposed
CEMP. The contractors CEMP is reviewed by the QGC field environment team prior to
mobilisation/implementation to ensure the CEMP meets all of QGCs obligations and requirements. The
contractors CEMP is a contractual key hold point that must be approved prior to any works being
undertaken. The field environment team then assesses the contractor against their CEMP commitments
throughout construction.

Environmental Management

QGCs management plans have been developed to ensure compliance with the approval conditions for
the construction of the QCLNG Project. Table 8 below identifies the EA Schedules and the associated
management plans and procedures that address the conditions stated within the EA and are intended to
ensure compliance with those conditions. The QGC management plans referenced have been previously
submitted to government in accordance with relevant approval conditions. For general conditions or
performance based conditions and those for which management plans are not applicable, QGC will
comply with the requirements of its approvals by implementing established industry environmental
management practices.

Compliance

Management of ongoing compliance with the conditions of QGCs state and federal approvals is achieved
through a comprehensive compliance program. The key elements of this program include:

A register of conditions imposed on activities through the EA and other approvals;


Regular field inspections of construction activities by QGC field environment officers;
Implementation of an environmental incident reporting procedure;
An internal audit program;
Third party audits as required by the conditions of the EA and other approvals; and
Annual desktop reviews of compliance conducted to coincide with the submission of the annual
environmental return.

During the operations phase of activities in the gas fields, QGC will also implement an Environmental
Management System (EMS) in accordance with the international standard AS/NZS ISO 14001 (refer
Section 8.2.1.4 below).

These compliance programs are undertaken during execution and construction of QGC infrastructure and
will continue to be implemented during operations. Results from these programs are fed back into the
environmental management framework to ensure management processes implemented during the
execution/ construction phase are continually improved.

8.2.1.3. Start-up and Hand-over

In readiness for facility start up and formal handover to operations for ongoing operation, the completion
of all pre-commissioning activities, utility systems and process systems shall be fully commissioned. As
part of this process the system will go through:

Operational readiness review;


Pre-start-up readiness review; and
Pre-start-up walkdown.

Typically the activity associated with the above process is associated with the transition from ongoing
preservation to operational maintenance. On start up the system will undergo a series of processes as
follows before the system is considered constructed:

Commence operations;

1 Jan 2015 to 31 Dec 2019
Environmental Authority EPPG00889613
QCQGC-BX00-ENV-PLN-000007
Revision 3 Oct 2014

Undergo performance testing (against established acceptance criteria);


Correct operational deficiencies;
Close-out outstanding items; and
Agreement on carryover work (issue resolution plan and establish budget).

On completion of construction of a piece of gas field infrastructure, and to allow handover from projects to
operations, an environmental handover package is to be completed and will form one part of the
multidiscipline handover package.

8.2.1.4. Operations

Once construction of infrastructure and commissioning is complete, responsibility for compliance with
relevant EA conditions and general environmental performance is handed over to Operations. Operation
of QGC infrastructure will then fall under the remit of the QGC EMS (Operations).

The QGC EMS (Operations) is based on the methodology of Plan-Do-Check-Act and aims to ensure
compliance with BG Group requirements and legislative commitments and promote continual
improvement. Effective planning is required to identify those activities which could cause a significant
environmental impact. This process identifies where mitigation through the establishment of
environmental objectives and targets and implementation of control procedures is required (refer Figure
12).

The UDP and the Constraints Protocol will continue to be used where relevant during operation of QGC
infrastructure. Management plans and other environmental procedures and processes relevant to
Operations will be developed under the overarching QGC EMS (Operations). The compliance processes
described above will also continue to be implemented during operation of QGC infrastructure to ensure
ongoing compliance with approval conditions. Results of compliance checks will be fed back into the
environmental management process to ensure continual improvement.

9.0 REHABILITATION PROGRAM


This section addresses the requirements of section 288 (1)(c)(iii) EP Act and relevant components of the
DEHP Guideline.

9.1. Schedule
Appendix E provides the schedule of infrastructure development from 1 January 2015 to 31 December
2019. This schedule has been used to re-calculate the Financial Assurance amount for the Jordan Project
Area (refer Section 9.8).

9.2. Disturbance to Environmentally Sensitive Areas


Infrastructure locations are selected to avoid ESAs and other areas that have been identified with
significant environmental values to the greatest practicable extent. Final route alignment of all linear
infrastructure avoids, to the greatest extent possible, ESAs, watercourse crossings and the habitat of any
species of ecological significance. There may be circumstances where competing constraints, such as
social impacts and landholder requirements, result in infrastructure being located within areas containing
REs listed as Endangered or Of Concern. In these situations avoidance measures listed in the
Constraints Protocol will be implemented, in accordance with EA conditions. Under the current EA QGC
is permitted to cause disturbance to the abovementioned ESAs for certain types of infrastructure or
activities where no reasonable or practicable alternative exists, and in accordance with a prescribed order
of preference. Conditions regulating impacts to ESAs are currently under review.

The area of disturbance of ESAs proposed to 31 December 2019 in the Jordan Project Area is
approximately 65 ha. Details of the location and extent of the proposed disturbance to any ESAs are
given in Table 9 and Appendix B.

C: Of Concern REs 25.46 12.22 37.68

9.3. Transitional and Forecast Areas to be Rehabilitated


Rehabilitation is undertaken once construction is complete for areas not in use for continued operation of
the infrastructure. For much of the project-related disturbance in the Jordan Project Area, rehabilitation
can only commence once infrastructure is decommissioned at the end of project life.

Transitional rehabilitation of disturbance associated with the construction of well pad areas, and
water/gas gathering and trunkline RoWs is undertaken once construction is complete. Transitional
rehabilitation will commence on disturbance associated with buried pipelines within three months of the
completion of construction. For well pads, rehabilitation of areas not required for project operations will
commence within nine months of completion of construction. Rehabilitation is generally not required to be
undertaken for seismic lines or irrigation areas as there is minimal surface disturbance. For all other types
of infrastructure, rehabilitation commences within nine months of decommissioning.

The total area of disturbance proposed to 31 December 2019 is approximately 933.3 ha (refer Table 13).
It is not expected that any of the areas transitionally rehabilitated will meet final completion criteria before
the end of 2019.

9.4. Results of the Rehabilitation Monitoring Program


Results of monitoring of areas undergoing progressive rehabilitation after the commencement of this plan
will be reported in the PoO to be effective post-31 December 2019.

9.5. Rehabilitation Framework


Rehabilitation within the Jordan Project Area is governed by the QGC Rehabilitation Plan (the Plan). The
plan sets out the objectives, techniques and management principles to guide and evaluate rehabilitation
and provides the overarching rehabilitation strategy to inform the infrastructure-specific rehabilitation
methodologies.

The Plan contains information specific to each QGCs gas field EAs and comprises:

An overarching Framework document:


o Identifying the legislative requirements for rehabilitating the gas fields;
o Detailing a decision-making process for determining the post-disturbance land use and condition
to be achieved by rehabilitation;
Pre-clearance Data Collection Guide providing:
o The preclearance data collection process;
o Proformas for pre-clearing data collection, including vegetation parameters, land use, land
zone/soil type etc;
Infrastructure Specifications detailing rehabilitation procedures for each infrastructure type for
progressive rehabilitation and final rehabilitation where appropriate, reflective of pre-disturbance land
use and vegetation type; and
Monitoring Program specifying performance criteria/measures and the process for monitoring
rehabilitation development over time.

9.5.1. Objectives

Rehabilitation activities in the Jordan Project Area must comply with Schedule H of the EA which governs
transitional rehabilitation for significantly disturbed land and also details final acceptance criteria.
Rehabilitating disturbed land within the Jordan Project Area aims to ensure:

(a) Contaminated land resulting from petroleum activities is remediated and rehabilitated;
(b) The areas are:
i. non-polluting
ii. a stable landform
iii. re-profiled to contours consistent with the surrounding landform
(c) surface drainage lines are re-establish
(d) top soil is reinstated; and
(e) either:
i. groundcover, that is not a declared pest species, is growing; or
ii. an alternative soil stabilisation methodology that achieves effective stabilisation is
implemented and maintained.
Final rehabilitation aims to reinstate all significantly disturbed areas caused by petroleum activities which
are not being or intended to be utilised by the landholder or overlapping tenure holder to the pre-
disturbance land use or highest ecological value adjacent land use. Vegetation re-establishment methods
are selected on a site-specific basis to reflect the agreed land use.

9.6. Rehabilitation Methods


The methods described below will be undertaken to rehabilitate disturbed areas across the project area
and are applicable to achieving both transitional and final rehabilitation objectives as required. The
Infrastructure Specifications identify the methods appropriate to each infrastructure type. These have
been consolidated below to provide a general understanding of the sequence of rehabilitation activities
that will be carried out at each site.

9.6.1. Pre-clearance Site Survey

Surveys of areas to be disturbed by the project are undertaken prior to vegetation clearing. The purpose of
the surveys is to confirm desktop assessment results and to document:

Land use;
Vegetation type / Regional Ecosystem (RE) including collection of data on defined vegetation
parameters in order to provide benchmark information for rehabilitation and monitoring purposes;
Soil type (based on ground-truthing of REs);
Habitat value; and
Presence / likelihood of threatened species.

Details relevant to final acceptance criteria as defined in the EA.

QGC has developed a Pre-clearance Data Collection Guide as part of the suite of documents associated
with the Rehabilitation Plan to provide a standardised method for the assessment of remnant and non-
remnant vegetation and ecological condition across the project area prior to the commencement of
vegetation clearance.

9.6.2. Transitional Rehabilitation

Post construction, the following methods will be undertaken to stabilise and reinstate disturbed areas:

All waste materials will be removed from site.

All temporary works provided for construction will be removed and fences and private roads
disturbed by construction will be reinstated in accordance with landholder agreements.
Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures (i.e. the construction of contour banks or
diversion banks) will be installed.
The area is to be inspected for hydrocarbon contamination and contaminated soil, if any, is to be
appropriately disposed of in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Disturbed areas will be re-profiled to the pre-disturbance profile (original surface contours) or as
close as possible to original survey of disturbance area.
Surface contouring is to be completed prior to re-spreading of topsoil.

Stockpiled topsoil shall be respread evenly over the original area after the disturbed area has been
re-contoured and after erosion control banks have been constructed. Topsoil will be sourced from
the designated stockpile and spread to all disturbed areas.
Compacted surfaces will be loosened (where deemed necessary) along contours and to a limited
depth to ensure no subsoil is ripped to the surface.

Revision 3 Oct 2014

If mulching is undertaken, a proportion of larger vegetation fragments may be retained for the
creation of habitat during rehabilitation where this is safe and practical from a site access
perspective and in accordance with the Rehabilitation Plan and Fauna Management Plan.
Cleared vegetation, either mulched or otherwise, will be stockpiled within the site footprint during site
construction and operation for use in site rehabilitation.
Where it is practical to undertake respreading of vegetation this may aid in dispersion of the seed
bank across the site and establishment of native vegetation. Any vegetation fragments retained for
their habitat value will be respread evenly across the site at a density which is aligned with the pre-
clearance density or areas of adjacent uncleared vegetation. Where appropriate mulched vegetation
will be incorporated in the upper topsoil layer prior to topsoil spreading to enhance establishment of
the seed bank and provide greater erosion control.
For sites where cleared vegetation has not been mulched, vegetation will be placed in regularly
spaced windrows along the contours of the site and away from drainage channels. Any vegetation
placed on the site will be located in a manner that it is safe and does not impede vehicle access to
the site.
Depending on the land use to be re-established on areas of disturbance the following procedures for
the establishment of grass cover may be undertaken:
o After topsoil has been respread to the appropriate depth it will be seeded with grass species
appropriate to the pre-development land use.
o Weed infestations identified in the areas reinstated with grass will be controlled.

9.6.3. Operational Monitoring and Maintenance

Operational monitoring will be undertaken to ensure that the site is maintained in a stable state and in
accordance with the transitional rehabilitation criteria and the relevant EA conditions.

Each infrastructure type has a typical disturbance area and a minimum vegetation maintenance
requirement. This consists of an area within which there is a zero tolerance to any vegetation
and/or a maximum allowable height of vegetation. In the latter, the vegetation can consist of grass,
woody vegetation or weeds (special circumstances apply) but must be maintained under that
allowable height.
Transitional rehabilitation of native vegetation on infrastructure disturbance areas is to be
encouraged where these zones are not required for operation of the asset.
Preferred methods of vegetation management and weed control are those that minimise
environmental impact, reduce the need for repeat visits and achieve the desired outcome in the
most cost effective manner. These may include:
o Herbicide application
o Slashing and mulching
o Physical removal
An Operational Monitoring Program has been developed to provide QGC with mechanisms to review the
progress and effectiveness of transitional rehabilitation works. The monitoring program has been based on
relevant aspects of the rehabilitation objectives as detailed in the EA.

Routine monitoring of the rehabilitation outcome in accordance with QGCs operational monitoring
plan will be undertaken to assess the establishment of the native vegetation community.

Revision 3 Oct 2014

Monitoring will identify areas that are not progressing towards transitional rehabilitation criteria and
appropriate corrective actions will be raised dependent on the needs and circumstances of the site.

9.6.4. Decommissioning and Final Rehabilitation

In accordance with EA conditions, QGC will submit a decommissioning management plan and
decommission infrastructure in accordance with the regulatory requirements of the day such as relevant
Australian Standards and relevant industry codes of practice. At the end of the asset lifecycle all
significantly disturbed areas caused by petroleum activities which are not being or intended to be utilised
by the landholder or overlapping tenure holder, must be rehabilitated to meet the final acceptance criteria
(as specified in the EA) measured either against the highest ecological value adjacent land use or the pre-
disturbed land use.

QGC has selected a number of analogue sites across the project area to be used as rehabilitation
benchmarks and guidance for areas which will require rehabilitation. Model development and ground
truthing identified 12 BVGs across the QCLNG Project area which may be impacted by infrastructure
development. Multiple analogue sites representing the condition classes for these 12 BVGs are located
across the entire project area. The eight analogue sites occur within the Jordan Project Area are
presented on Figure 6. The analogue sites and with location coordinates relevant to the Jordan Project
Area are presented in Appendix C. Ecological benchmark data for those analogue sites are attached as
Appendix D.

9.6.4.1. Regeneration of Native Vegetation and monitoring

On sites where remnant vegetation has been cleared and the re-establishment of this pre-impact
vegetation community is required as the final outcome of the rehabilitation process, the following will be
undertaken.

Regeneration of native vegetation will be undertaken through natural regeneration of the seed-bank
following re-spreading of topsoil.
Revegetation (seeding and/or planting with native species tube-stock) where native vegetation is the
desired final land use objective. This technique maybe applied as the primary rehabilitation
technique in the first instance or where natural regeneration, as a rehabilitation technique, has not
succeeded to desired levels. This technique may be applied to areas not required to remain treeless
during Project operations and final decommissioning of areas where the final land use objective is
native vegetation

9.6.4.2. Final Acceptance Criteria

Post decommissioning, all disturbed areas caused by petroleum activities which are not being or intended
to be utilised by the landholder or overlapping tenure holder, must be rehabilitated to meet the final
acceptance criteria (as defined in the EA) measured either against the highest ecological value adjacent
land use or the pre-disturbed land use.

Pre-clearance surveys of disturbance areas will be utilised to assess each location against defined
parameters for the establishment of final acceptance criteria in accordance with the EA. These parameters
are used to define performance criteria for assessment of rehabilitation success. Monitoring of
rehabilitation will also focus on these parameters in assessing the progress of rehabilitation toward the
final acceptance criteria.

Where individual sites have met the final rehabilitation criteria, QGC will seek to have their Financial
Assurance obligations discharged for those sites.

9.6.4.3. Landholder Criteria

Where landholders agree to accept land previously used for petroleum activities, appropriate agreements
will be put in place with the landholder.

9.7. Financial Assurance


Financial Assurance (FA) of dollar amount $44,058,655 is currently held by DEHP for the Jordan EA
Area, effective from 7 March 2014.

QGC has recently re-calculated the FA amount for the Jordan Project Area resulting in a revised estimate
of $34,016,617. The re-calculation was undertaken in accordance with regulatory requirements and the
DEHPs Guideline Financial assurance under the Environmental Protection Act 1994.

The re-calculation was reviewed by a third party consultant who provided up to date estimates as the
basis for the calculations.

QGC Financial Assurance Cost Estimate
FA SCHEDULE ASSUMPTIONS SITE NAME: Jordan Project Area

1 The Financial Assurance (FA) Schedule was developed based on information available from field surveys, and project plans and schedules.
2 The FA cost estimate includes costs for rehabilitation of all assets and disturbances covered under the operating period from 1 January 2015 - 31 December 2019. FA costs for existing assets and activities as of
15 September 2014 are included as existing assets.
3 CSG wells exist at the start of the FA period and new CSG wells are planned during the FA period. The existing wells are assumed to have been partially rehabilitated. New wells are assumed to be partially
rehabilitated in the quarter following installation. Costs are estimated based on the maximum disturbance (maximum cost) that may occur during the period. Plugged and Abandon (P&A) wells have been
included in the existing well count to account for further reseeding.
4 Gas/water gathering lines exist and new lines are proposed for construction during the FA period. The easement widths range from 15-30 m, averaging 18-m along the pipeline route. Existing pipeline
easements are assumed to have been rehabilitated. Rehabilitation of new easements is assumed to be conducted sequentially over the course of construction with up to 1 km of trench and 5 km of easement
under construction and requiring rehabilitation at any time. To allow for rehabilitation costs using the model unit rates, a 20-m easement width is assumed.

5 Gas and water trunklines totalling 8.6 km exist at the start of the FA period that were constructed, ranging from 30-35 metre wide. New gas trunklines totalling 24 km are planned during the FA period. Existing
trunkline easements are assumed to have been rehabilitated. To allow for new easement rehabilitation costs using the model unit rates, a 32-m easement width is assumed.

6 Two accommodation camps (Kenya East and Jordan) can cater for up to 1250 persons. The two camps together occupy approximately 40 ha. To allow for facilities removal and rehabilitation, costs for a 600EP
camp and 1.5 250EP camps are assumed. Two sewerage treatment plants exist and these are assumed to be decommissioned and rehabilitated with the camps. Five (5) existing drill camps are included to
support drilling activities. As the drilling campaign reduces, the drill camps will be demobilised.

7 One Central Processing Plant (CPP) with a capacity of 440 TJ/day is assumed to exist at the start of the FA period. Two (2) Field Compressor Stations (FCS) are assumed to exist during the FA period.

8 Laydown areas are required to support construction activities. Fuel storage that may occur in the laydown areas is assumed to be conducted in accordance with Australia Standards and is considered a low risk
activity not requiring FA.
9 At the start of the FA period two (2) ponds exist (Kenya East RSP 591ML and Celeste RSP 345ML). Kenya East Evaporation Pond has been removed from the FA calculation as it has been handed over to the
landholder as agreed with EHP on 28 October 2014.
Ponds rehabilitation is assumed to comprise liner and sludge removal and disposal, and grading and revegetation of the disturbed areas. The ponds are assumed to be connected to the water treatment system
network. Costs for management of residual water in the operational ponds (water treatment and brine disposal), and costs for ponds investigation (excluding the treated water and sediment pond) are also
included.
10 It is assumed that 20 stimulation ponds exist and additional ponds will be constructed during the next five years to support the drilling campaign. It is assumed that these ponds are progressively rehabilitated
as noted in the schedule.

11 Water volumes for treatment are estimated based on pond operating capacities and construction and operations schedules, and consider evaporative losses in ponds. Based on QGC simulation modelling
evaporation rates in ponds are 20-30% when filled to 50% capacity and greater when at less than 50% capacity. It is assumed that decommissioning under FA would not commence until at least one year
following cessation of operations, thus residual water in ponds is assumed to be reduced by at least 20% by the time decommissioning commences.
12 Post rehabilitation monitoring costs have also been included and are calculated as 5% of total costs for rehabilitation activities that will require monitoring (e.g., earthworks grading and seeding).

UF is the unit cost to completely rehabilitate un-rehabilitated disturbance.


UP is the unit cost to complete rehabilitation of partially rehabilitated disturbance
* Monitoring costs are based on an allocation of 5% of land disturbance rehabilitation (e.g., grading and seeding) costs as these are indicative of the activities that would be the focus of monitoring.
** Project management costs (at 10% of contractors total cost) are included in unit rates. Additional project management costs, estimated at 5% of total rehabilitation costs, is included here for program management.
The sum of the rehabilitation costs is increased by 3% compounded annually for the number of years from the date at which the estimation of rehabilitation costs was made.
