COFS congratulates Rong Chen, Chengcai Luo, Amin Rismanchian and Youhu Zhang for being awarded top-up scholarships of $7500 from The Australia-China Natural Gas Technology Partnership Fund.

The Fund is a joint initiative of the Western Australian Government, the Commonwealth Government and North West Shelf Australia LNG which was established in 2003 as part of an historic agreement for Australia to supply LNG to China.

The Fund supports a range of activities which provide opportunities for training, research and technology transfer between Australia and China in the Natural Gas industry to foster long-term partnerships that enhance the relationship between Australia and China.  The importance of the LNG industry to Australia and China is evident with energy consumption and natural gas demand in China expected to remain relatively strong in 2009 and Australia's worldwide LNG exports forecast to increase to 17.0 million tonnes from 2008 to the end of 2009 (a projected value of $6.7 billion).
