Karara will host mining operations for the magnetite iron ore project and is the designated site for a processing plant that will produce high-grade magnetite concentrate.

The unique characteristics of the Karara magnetite deposit include a low level of impurities, the consistency of the orebody and an exceptionally low waste:ore stripping ratio, underpinning cost-competitive mining and processing.

High-grade magnetite concentrate (68.2 per cent iron) will be railed initially to the Port of Geraldton, for export to Yingkou in north-east China, where it will be fed into a 4Mtpa joint venture facility, to produce blast-furnace quality iron pellets. The balance of the concentrate shipped will be purchased directly by AnSteel for its sintering operations.

The interim 1.43 billion tonne Karara magnetite resource, which includes an initial ore reserve measuring 497 million tonnes of 36.3 per cent iron, will support an operation likely to extend over several decades.

Drilling is continuing with the support of AnSteel which is keen to expand production beyond the initial estimated 8Mtpa of concentrate, to support the steel mill’s future expansion.

Gindalbie and its Joint Venture partner AnSteel remain on schedule to commence producing both concentrate and pellets in 2010.

BHP Billiton has approved capital expenditure of US$1.85 billion for its share of the project, which includes development of a new crushing and screening plant, as well as additional stockyards, car dumping and train loading facilities at Mt Whaleback. Infrastructure upgrades will also be implemented at satellite orebodies and the rail and port operations. BHP Billiton’s partners in the Pilbara iron ore operations are: Itochu Minerals & Energy of Australia, Mitsui-Itochu Iron and Mitsui Iron Ore Corporation.

Key elements of RGP4 include:

Pilbara Iron Ore and Infrastructure Project Fortescue Metals Group Limited will construct rail and port facilities to support the development and sale of the Pilbara’s stranded iron ore bodies. Its philosophy is an open third party access regime for other mining users as espoused by the Government. The rail and port assets will be owned by The Pilbara Infrastructure Pty Ltd (TPI) – currently a wholly – owned subsidiary of FMG. TPI includes the mine ore handling facility, railway from Cloud Break to Port Hedland and a port facility at Port Hedland. The key infrastructure parameters include:

-255 kms of railway from Cloud Break to Port Hedland
-4 train sets each comprising 2 locomotives and 200 wagons
-2 berths, a live berth and a lay-by berth designed to handle ships up to 250,000 DWT
-12,500 tph shiploader
-2.4 million tones live stockpile area.

WorleyParson has been appointed the EPCM contractor. The following contractors have been selected for the works:

• Jan de Nul NV for the dredging of the port area at Anderson Point.
• The vessel CSD “Leonardo da Vinci” has been scheduled for the work.
• Metso Minerals (Australia) Pty Ltd for the design, manufacture and commissioning of the train unloader at Anderson Point.
• FFE Minerals for the design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of Excel 1100 crushers at the Cloud Break mine site.
• BGC Contracting for earthworks and culvert construction along the entire 255km route of the rail line.

The capital cost for the project is estimated at A$1.95 billion. Fortescure is targeting to have the first ore shipped in late 2007.

The Perth Seawater Desalination Project comprises the design, construction and operation of a 45 gigalitre per year desalination plant to be located in Kwinana, 25km south of Perth, Western Australia. The project scope includes seawater intake, pretreatment, reverse osmosis desalination, drinking water potabilisation and pumping station. Multiplex is responsible jointly with Degremont for the design and construction of the $387 million plant.

The Project is executed in an Alliance Arrangement with the Water Corporation in two phases covered by separate Design/Construct and Operation/Maintenance contracts. The plant is scheduled for completion by end of April 2007, with potable water supplies being progressively delivered following commissioning in October 2006.

The expansion is based on a $900 million construction project to upgrade the capacity of mining and refinery facilities at Boddington and Worsley. This expansion will be achieved by expanding mining operations within Worsley’s lease area, increasing the capacity of the conveyor that carries crushed bauxite from Boddington to the refinery and modifications and upgrades at the refinery.

The site is located approximately 20 kilometers northwest of Collie and approximately 180 kilometers south of Perth, Western Australia. The project is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2006 and will take approximately 24 months to complete.

The joint venture partners have contracted Bechtel Australia Pty Ltd to deliver Engineering Procurement and Construction Management services covering the Feasibility, Transition and Execution phases of the expansion.

The subsea gas-gathering system will be located on the sea floor at the Greater Gorgon gas fields west of Barrow Island in 200-1000m water depth. It is anticipated that between 20 and 30 wells would be drilled in the Gorgon area gas fields over a 30-year period. The number of development wells and timing of construction will depend on future gas demand. The key components of the sub-sea gathering system include: development wells, subsea trees, cluster manifolds, pipeline end-manifolds, flowlines, MEG and utility pipeline, two 30-inch pipelines to Barrow Island and a control system including 180km subsea umbilical from Barrow Island to the Jansz subsea manifold. Horizontal directional drilling will be employed to minimise the impact of the shore crossings on local flora and fauna.

It is proposed that much of Gorgon’s reservoir carbon dioxide be removed for disposal underground; it will be piped from the processing plant to wells drilled on the island for injection into 2500m deep saline aquifers. The Australian Government made an A$60-million offer to support the efforts of the Gorgon joint venturers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the proposed Gorgon project. The offer was to be funded by the government’s A$500-million Low Emissions Technology Demonstration Fund, which is designed to address the risk and capital costs of demonstrating low emissions technologies to ensure they are commercially viable in the longer term. The three-year work program for the permit area includes geotechnical studies, 180 km (110 mi) of 2D seismic reprocessing, 1,700 sq km (650 sq mi) of 3D seismic survey acquisition, and the drilling of an exploration well in the additional acreage in permit W06-12. Seismic work will begin this year. There is potential for a further three-year work program in the Carnarvon basin acreage, covering an area of 3,100 sq km (1,200 sq mi) approximately 100 km (60 mi) northwest of the Australian coastline.

J P Kenny Pty Ltd and Technip Oceania Pty Ltd have been selected in a Gorgon Upstream Joint Venture (GUJV) as the front end engineering and design (FEED) and engineering, procurement, construction and management (EPCM) contractor with respect to the upstream facilities for the Greater Gorgon development. FMC Technologies and Vetco Gray are the two shortlisted subsea equipment vendors. Both vendors have performed FEED studies to take their proposed solutions forward and both companies will be included in the tender process.

The Kellogg Joint Venture – Gorgon (KJV-G) including KBR, JGC Corporation of Japan, and Australian-based partners Clough Projects Australia Pty Ltd. and Hatch Associates Pty Ltd have been selected to perform the FEED for the downstream part of the project.

Chevron will delay the final investment decision on the project for at least six months to mid-2007 despite getting the environmental go-ahead for the development from state regulators. The project is now likely to cost more than $16 billion, $5 billion more than first thought.

Chevron is the field operator with 50% equity with Shell and ExxonMobil sharing 25% each for the relevant permits.

The Gorgon project involves the development of a greenfields LNG facility on Barrow Island in Western Australia and two LNG processing trains, each with a capacity of five million tonnes per annum.

The Gorgon Downstream LNG project also includes the installation of a sub-sea gathering system, 70-kilometre sub-sea pipeline from the Gorgon gas fields to Barrow Island, CO2 removal and reinjection process, liquid hydrocarbon shipping facilities to transport the product to international markets, and delivery of compressed domestic gas to the Western Australian mainland via sub-sea pipeline for use by industrial and domestic gas markets.

The prime function of NRB is to provide gas compression and condensate pumping for hydrocarbons produced by the NRA wells, to maintain production and to recover remaining reserves. NRB will extend the life of the North Rankin and Perseus fields to 2041. Following installation of the new NRB platform, the two platforms will function as one production complex.

The NRB topsides will be approximately 20,000 tonnes and will be installed by float over. The deck is supported by a 23,000 tonne eight leg, cross-braced, steel structure jacket with drilled and grouted piles on each corner. The NR2 project also has extensive Brownfield scope as a result of the process/utility ties between the two facilities and major maintenance requirements to meet the extended life of NRA.

FEED and procurement of long lead items for NR2 will begin in the first quarter of 2007. The engineering, procurement management and construction management support services contract for FEED only was awarded to the Eos Joint Venture, an unincorporated joint venture of WorleyParsons Services Pty Limited and KBR E&C Australia Pty Ltd.
