Queensland LNG to outstrip current national production by 2020

摘要

Queensland will produce more liguefied natural gas (LNG) than Australia's total current production rate within nine years, according to forecasts released in August. Queensland LNG capacity is set to reach at least 25 million tonnes by 2020, according to the report Australian Coal Seam Gas 2011: From Well to Wharf, a 260-page annual review of the industry produced by energy economics group, EnergyQuest. "The demand for Queensland LNG from Asian buyers has been outstanding, considering that LNG from coal seam gas (CSG) has never been done before," EnergyQuest chief executive officer, Dr Graeme Bethune, said.
