The cargo is headed for Europe, said CNPC on its website on Monday, without giving further details. CNPC is an investor in the project.
The first phase of the $27 B project was completed in December. Other phases are due to onstream in 2018 and 2019, and the project will eventually have four processing units with total capacity of 17.5 MMtpy.
China will take more than 4 MMt out of the total a year when full operation is reached, said the firm. Russia’s Novatek has provisionally set Dec 8 as the official launch date for the plant, Reuters has reported.
