Oil and gas commissioning and technology specialist qedi - part of AMEC, the international engineering and project management company - has underpinned its position in the Australian market by being awarded a key contract on a high-profile coal seam gas storage project. QGC, a BG Group business, has appointed qedi to apply its world-class proprietary commissioning technology and consultancy expertise on its Queensland Curtis liquefied natural gas (QCLNG) development.

The contract represents a significant breakthrough for Aberdeen-headquartered qedi, which was recently acquired by international engineering and project management company AMEC. It not only affirms qedi's offering both in Australia and its burgeoning coal seam gas sector but it is also anticipated to be a key catalyst for generating further business in the region.

Stuart McLeod, qedi's managing director, said:

'Our industry-leading provision of 24/7 remote technical support around the world, combined with our pioneering GO Technology® hub of web-enabled integrity management software, has been key to winning the contract.

'The Australian market opens up yet another exciting new door for qedi and reinforces the continually evolving global reach of our niche and dedicated services.'
