Ichthys LNG project starts up in Australia

Australia
The Ichthys LNG project has commenced operations and first shipments are expected towards the end of September, operator Inpex announced on Monday.

“The produced gas will be gathered within the central processing facility (Ichthys Explorer), where it will be separated into gases and liquids,” the company statement said.

“Thereafter, the liquids will be piped to the nearby floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) facility (Ichthys Venturer), while the gases will be transported via the 890-kilometre long gas export pipeline (GEP) to the onshore gas liquefaction plant at Darwin in Australia’s Northern Territory.”

The USD 40-billion project has seen numerous delays and has started up a couple of years later than its initial target date. Inpex holds a 62.245% stake in Ichthys LNG, along with partners Total (30%) and a slew of smaller companies.
