Kingaroy, Queensland
The construction and commissioning of the Kingaroy pilot plant was completed in March 2010. Ignition on site took place on 15 March 2010, and the gasification of coal commenced shortly thereafter. A subsequent shallow failure of well casing in one of the two production wells being used in the process (P4) led to the temporary closing down of the gasification process. The cause of the failure was identified and re-design work was undertaken to ensure a failure of this nature would not recur.
