摘要

AUSTRALIA: Wheatstone LNG has shipped its first LNG cargo. The ‘Asia Venture’ LNG carrier departed from the plant in Queensland on Tuesday, and is destined for JERA, one of the project’s foundation buyers, in Japan. At full capacity, the two-train 8.9 mtpa LNG facility is expected to contribute around 6% of the Asia Pacific region’s total future LNG production. The project’s domestic gas plant also has the capacity to produce 200 TJ per day of domestic gas for the Western Australian market. Once Wheatstone is fully operational, project leader Chevron is expected to be Australia’s largest liquefaction owner with 15.8 mtpa, the US company said on Tuesday.
