GAS CONTRACTS
Arrow and the Queensland Government-owned electricity generator CS Energy hold a 15-year contract to supply 2 petajoules (PJ) per year to CS Energy (total gas supply 30 PJ).

CENTRAL GAS PROCESSING FACILITY
The Central Gas Processing Facility (CGPF) at Kogan North is owned and operated by the APA Group. The APA Group charges a tolling fee to process the raw gas from the Kogan North field under a usage agreement. The initial layout of CGPF consists of three gas compressors to compress the gas to Roma to Brisbane Pipeline operating pressure, and a dehydration unit to dry the gas to sales gas specification. The facility is designed for future expansion with minimal additional cost when required.
