PNG LNG celebrates 100th cargo

The Methane Spirit LNG carrier is transporting the cargo to Tokyo Electric Power Company in Japan, the recipient of the first LNG cargo in May 2014.

More than 7 MMt of LNG have been exported since the project commenced production in April 2014.

ExxonMobil PNG Limited Managing Director Andrew Barry said the milestone further underpinned PNG LNG’s reliability as a gas producer.

“Since export operations began an LNG carrier has been loaded on average every 3-4 days with continuous operational excellence,”? Mr Barry said.

The PNG LNG Project involves a two-train, 6.6 MMt/a LNG processing facility, incorporating the Hides, Angore and Juha gas fields, along with associated gas from the Kutube, Agogo, Gob and Moran oil fields.

Joint venture participants include ExxonMobil subsidiary Esso Highlands as operator (33.2 per cent), Oil Search (29.0 per cent), PNG Government (16.6 per cent), Santos (13.5 per cent), Nippon Oil (4.7 per cent), Mineral Resources Development Company (2.8 per cent) and Petromin PNG Holdings Limited (0.2 per cent).
