Project overview
The US$19 billion PNG LNG Project is an integrated development that includes gas production and processing facilities that extend from Hela, Southern Highlands, Western and Gulf provinces to Port Moresby in Central Province.
ExxonMobil PNG Limited operates PNG LNG on behalf of five co-venture partners.
Our facilities are connected by over 700 kilometres of onshore and offshore pipeline and include a gas conditioning plant in Hides and a liquefaction and storage facility near Port Moresby.
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) production began in April 2014, months ahead of schedule. Since then we have been reliably supplying LNG to four long-term major customers in the Asia region including:
- China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec)
- Osaka Gas Company Limited
- The Tokyo Electric Power Company Inc.
- CPC Corporation
Our operations have the capacity to produce more than 8.3 million tonnes of LNG, an increase of 20 percent from the original design specification of 6.9 million tonnes per annum (MTA). Over the life of the Project we estimate that the PNG LNG Project will produce more than 11 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
