The Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association (APPEA) has hailed the first cargo from the second train at Australia Pacific LNG’s export terminal as a “significant milestone” for the LNG industry in Queensland, Australia.
Dr Malcolm Roberts, APPEA Chief Executive, said: “Australia Pacific LNG, all its employees and contractors are to be congratulated on delivering a first class world project professionally and safely.”
“Six trains are now fully operational on Curtis Island off Gladstone following unprecedented investment in world-first projects that are exporting a cleaner energy source to the world.
“They form part of a bigger $200 billion investment in new LNG projects which will soon see Australia become the world’s leading exporter of LNG.”
Australia Pacific LNG’s terminal is located on Curtis Island near Gladstone, Queensland, Australia. LNG production from the LNG terminal’s first train began in December 2015 and the first LNG cargo was exported in January 2016. To date Australia Pacific LNG has loaded a total of 47 cargoes.
