1. About PNG LNG
The PNG LNG Project is an integrated development that includes gas production and processing facilities
in the Southern Highlands, Hela, Western, Gulf and Central Provinces of Papua New Guinea. There are
over 700 kilometres of pipelines connecting the facilities, which includes a gas conditioning plant in Hides
and liquefaction and storage facilities near Port Moresby with capacity of 6.9 million tonnes per year.
The investment for the initial phase of the Project, excluding shipping costs, is estimated at US$19 billion.
Over the life of the Project it is expected that over nine trillion cubic feet of gas will be produced and sold.
The PNG LNG Project commenced production of liquefied natural gas in April 2014 and delivered its first
cargo of LNG in May 2014, ahead of schedule.
The Project will provide a long-term supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to four major customers in
the Asia region including:
China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec)
