MPK’s 15-year presence in the Surat Basin building Australia’s largest gas gathering network is set to continue, with Santos recently awarding the company a new contract to construct its energy infrastructure over the next five years.
MPK CEO Adam Machon said the contract award was recognition of the work of the MPK team and their steadfast commitment to deliver Santos a low-cost, but high-quality product.
The contract award reinforces the expertise of MPK’s team, that has been active across Santos’operations since 2016, and delivering Field Civils and Gathering construction works since 2020.
Under the contract, MPK will deliver civil works, gas and water gathering networks, electrical infrastructure, and wellsite installations across Santos’ assets.
“The Surat Basin is home for MPK, and our hardworking team of gas specialists have played a key support role in the region’s development, so it’s humbling we have again been entrusted to continue what we do best,” Machon said.
“I see this new contract as a further opportunity to strengthen our relationship with Santos, but also with the 100+ local and indigenous businesses we’ve partnered with over the years to deliver our work scopes.
“We share Santos’ goal of ensuring energy infrastructure projects deliver social benefit to communities, and we’ll continue to provide local people with employment and training opportunities, just like we’ve done for the past 15 years.
“It’s a winning formula and I look forward to the positive outcomes it will continue to deliver across the Surat Basin,” he said.
On the back of the contract award, MPK said it had significantly increased its capital investment into its machinery fleet, and also the development of innovative equipment that ensures delivery of the very best outcomes for Santos, communities and the environment.
