- Exclusive three-year engineering partnership between APA and Worley to support gas transmission and storage projects nationwide.
- Program aims to reduce constraints, increase optionality and improve system flexibility to address projected gas shortfalls in southern east-coast markets.
- Portfolio-based partnering with replication and digital delivery to standardize engineering, speed execution and reduce execution risk.
Partnership
APA has appointed Worley as its exclusive engineering partner for three years to support gas transmission and storage projects across its national network, delivering a phased, scalable infrastructure program intended to reduce constraints, increase optionality and improve system flexibility.
Delivery model and focus
APA is using a portfolio-based partnering model with a single engineering provider to apply lessons learned across projects, increase replication and standardisation, streamline engineering delivery, enhance adoption of digital tools and drive continuous improvement; replication and digital delivery are prioritized to reduce execution risk, improve consistency and speed delivery at scale while supporting disciplined capital investment.
Strategic context
The program targets increased capacity and resilience to help address projected gas shortfalls in southern east-coast markets; gas remains important for firming renewables, supporting industry and maintaining power-system reliability, and recent market volatility, geopolitical disruptions and policy uncertainty underscore the need for secure, adaptable infrastructure.
