Total has announced that the first cargo of LNG from Ichthys LNG has left Darwin, in the Northern Territory of Australia, following production start-up at the end of July.
Ichthys LNG will develop reserves of more than 3 billion boe, located offshore Western Australia, including around 500 million barrels of condensate. At full capacity, the offshore facilities and the two-train onshore liquefaction plant will supply 8.9 million tpy of LNG and 1.65 million tpy of LPG, along with 100 000 barrels 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.
