WDS has for some time been gearing up for increased activity in the coal seam gas sector as a result of the liquefied natural gas decisions made in earlier years. FY13 finally saw these opportunities come to market and our Energy Division booked its largest-ever contract, extending over three years, associated with the construction of the infrastructure to connect 345 wells for Australia Pacific LNG near Roma. We also recorded excellent organic growth across our CSG Construction and Fabrication business units through work for other coal seam gas proponents in Queensland.
Despite experiencing a reduction in drilling activities related to the coal mining slowdown, I am pleased to report that steady improvement across all our operating metrics for the Energy Division has reinforced our long-term confidence in the growth prospects from the coal seam gas sector.
