Australia Pacific LNG starts first production at Curtis Island: Origin
Australia Pacific LNG has started production of liquefied natural gas at its Curtis Island facility, joint venture partner Origin Energy said Friday.
Australia Pacific LNG remains on track to export its first cargo by the end of the year, the company said.
“With first LNG production, Australia Pacific LNG has now achieved its last major milestone prior to exporting LNG to customers in Asia,” David Baldwin, CEO of Origin's integrated gas division, said.
“The Origin-operated upstream activities, which deliver gas to Curtis Island, are fully operational and performing well, and Origin, together with partners ConocoPhillips and Sinopec, are now focused on achieving first export."
Australia Pacific LNG produces natural gas from Australia’s largest 2P CSG reserves base, located in the Surat and Bowen basins in Queensland, which is piped to its LNG facility on Curtis Island where it is converted to LNG for export to customers in Asia.
