Bechtel is the main contractor for all three LNG projects in Queensland, and all are now operational with Australia Pacific LNG exporting its first cargo on 9 January.

Four of the six trains are producing LNG with the remaining two trains expected to come online in 2016.

"The simultaneous work on the three giant plants constitutes the greatest concentration of green-fields construction for Bechtel anywhere in the world," said Alasdair Cathcart, general manager of Bechtel's LNG business line.
