PERTH (miningweekly.com) – The Queensland Curtis liquefied natural gas (QCLNG) project has shipped its first LNG product from the second train.
Operator BG Group said this week that at plateau production, which was expected by mid-2016, both trains at the QCLNG project would be producing enough LNG to load a combined ten vessels a month, exporting around eight-million tonnes a year.
Since the start of production from the first train in December last year, some 27 cargoes had been shipped.
BG Group CEO Helge Lund said that the start-up of the QCLNG second train was another important operational milestone delivered in line with the project plan.
“The completion of our upstream infrastructure and the two LNG trains are achievements of which the BG Group, particularly our team in Australia, can be proud. We have already shipped more than 1.5-million tonnes of LNG from Queensland and train 2 will add significant further volumes and flexibility to our LNG shipping and marketing portfolio.”
