Background

The Churchie Field was discovered in 2001 near the town of Surat in Queensland's southeast. By 2002 Mosaic Oil and Santos had purchased rights from the Queensland owned gas company. The Churchie pipeline was online by 2003, a 6 kilometer pipeline that connected the new Churchie gas field to existing pipelines and the Queensland grid.
