PERTH (miningweekly.com) – The $18.5-billion Gladstone liquefied natural gas (GLNG) project, in Queensland, on Friday loaded its twenty-fifth LNG cargo for export.

The GLNG project shipped its first LNG cargo in October last year, after production from its first LNG train started in September.

Speaking at the eighteenth LNG conference, GLNG VP for downstream Rod Duke said on Friday that first LNG delivery from the second train was expected before the end of the year.

The GLNG project involved the development of gasfields from the Bowen and Surat basins in south-western Queensland and transporting the gas through a 420 km underground pipeline to a two-train LNG plant on Curtis Island, off the coast of Gladstone, with the capacity to produce 7.8-million tonnes a year of LNG at full capacity.

Australian major Santos is the operator and has a 30% interest in the project, while Petronas and Total hold a 27.5% interest each, and South Korea’s Kogas holds the remaining 15%.
