PNG LNG – Papua New Guinea

End User: Exxonmobil

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.

The 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, with capacity to produce more than 8.3 million tonnes of LNG per annum (MTA). Around 1 billion cubic feet of natural gas is turned into LNG every day at the LNG Plant and over the life of the Project it is expected that the PNG LNG Project will produce more than 11 trillion cubic feet of LNG.

Over 55,000 workers were involved in the construction of the Project, with 21,220 employed at its peak in 2012
