3.6.2 Modelling outcomes—gas operations skills Energy Skills Queensland (ESQ) has projected new jobs growth by occupation, based on slow, moderate and rapid growth scenarios (Table 4). This modelling assumes base employment of 1,000 people in all scenarios, that is, there were 1,000 people already employed in the industry in 2009. In Queensland all of the CSG/LNG projects will be greenfields. Owing to the nature of CSG technology, which requires significant numbers of drillers, each train will need between 550 and 650 professional and technical staff during operations.

On the basis of ESQ’s modelling, the Taskforce considers that if only two trains become operational by 2015, the number of professional and technical staff needed for operations in Queensland will be around 1,200. The Taskforce based employment projections for Western Australia on consultations with the Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association (APPEA) and industry representatives. Differences in the extraction process means there is a different employment profile in Western Australia. In Western Australia, the number of employees required per train will depend on the workforce model adopted (ie fly-in/fly-out (FIFO), residential or a mix of the two) and the number of greenfields projects. When an additional LNG train is built alongside an existing train (a brownfields development), it requires significantly fewer operational employees due to existing processes, work flows and team capability. Discussions with industry suggest the number of employees required for a train at a greenfields site can range from around 150 to 300 depending on whether the workforce is residential, a mix of residential and FIFO, or all FIFO. A typical workforce includes plant operators (around 50 per cent), maintenance technicians (mechanical and electrical trades — around 35 per cent) and engineering professionals and paraprofessionals (around 15 per cent). Additional trains in the same LNG brownfields development require about 10 to 20 per cent of the number of employees required for the first train. Table 5 shows the number of operational positions required by 2015 under three growth scenarios for Western Australia. Estimates assume: • The first two projects are greenfields and require 260 onsite employees per train. • The remaining projects are brownfields (additional trains in an existing site) and require between 25 and 50 employees per train. Table 5: Growth scenarios for Western Australia (4, 6 and 8 trains) Estimated employment breakdown per train Low-growth scenario (4 trains) Mediumgrowth scenario (6 trains) High-growth scenario (8 trains) Operators 300 335 375 Maintenance technicians (mechanical/electrical trades) 210 235 365 Engineering 90 100 110 TOTAL 600 670 750 Source: Taskforce analysis based on industry advice These estimates do not include supporting roles such as logistics, catering and security. The Taskforce considers it likely there will be two to four new trains operating in Queensland by 2015, and four to six new trains in Western Australia. This would create between 1,200 and 2,500 professional and trade jobs in operations in Queensland and between 600 and 700 in Western Australia.
