Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) and PetroChina Co. (PTR) on Tuesday took a step toward developing a multibillion dollar Australian gas export plant by inviting engineering companies to tender for early design works.

The joint venture said it has invited four consortia to bid for the front-end engineering and design phase of the development, which will chill coal seam gas to liquefied natural gas for export.

The consortia comprise KBR Inc. (KBR), China Huanqiu Contracting & Engineering Corp. and Leighton Holdings Ltd. (LEI.AU); Chiyoda Co. (8185.TO), CBI and Saipem SpA (SPM.MI); Technip SA (TEC.FR), JGC Corp. (1963.TO) and Clough Ltd. (CLO.AU); and Foster Wheeler AG (FWLT) and WorleyParsons Ltd. (WOR.AU).

Tenders close in February, the joint venture said.
