Total announces that the first cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Ichthys LNG has left Darwin, in the Northern Territory of Australia, following the production start-up at the end of July.
Located in the northwest of Australia, Ichthys is one of the world’s most complex liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects. Its development involves building colossal facilities and creating the longest subsea pipeline in the Southern Hemisphere. A global leader in the LNG field, Total is a major partner in this unique project operated by INPEX. Credit: Total
Ichthys LNG will develop reserves of more than 3 billion barrels of oil equivalent located offshore Western Australia, including around 500 million barrels of condensate. At full capacity, the offshore facilities and the two-train onshore liquefaction plant will supply 8.9 million tons per year (Mt/y) of LNG and 1.65 Mt/y of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), along with 100,000 barrels of condensate per day.
LNG is currently being produced from the first liquefaction train, with the second train expected to start up as well in the coming weeks.
