Project Background

The Kwinana co-generation plant, a 120MW combined cycle gas turbine, is located about 40km south of Perth, WA. At the time, Western Australia was evaluating the conservation of existing gas turbines to enable LPG and refinery fuel gas (RFG) as a fuel source.

ENGIE

Location:

Kwinana, WA

OGP's Role:

Project Delivery Services

The OGP Solution

OGP Group was engaged by ENGIE to project management services for Kwinana co-generation LPG upgrade. This included:

  • Project management, cost, schedule, and risk management for the feasibility stage.
  • Development of multiple options for the feasibility stage, including business case development for internal client approval.

The Outcome

OGP collaborated closely with LPG and RFG suppliers to build confidence in the project evaluations. We also worked closely with the gas turbine’s OEM, engaging in significant technical discussions with their research and development team, to understand their historical success. This was crucial in determining the effectiveness of the gas turbines in utilising RFG and LPG as fuel sources. The outcome of this collaboration resulted in ultimately deciding that LPG would be the preferred choice. Our risk team also held multiple risk workshops to ensure that all risks were identified and effectively mitigated.
