Total's Ichthys LNG project begins gas exports
PARIS -- 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.
Ichthys LNG will develop reserves of more than 3 Bboe, located offshore Western Australia, including around 500 MMbbl 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 bbl 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.
