Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG) is a joint venture between ConocoPhillips (47.5%), Origin Energy (27.5%), and Sinopec (25%) and shipped its first LNG cargo in January 2016 after nearly five years of development and construction.

APLNG is the largest producer of natural gas in eastern Australia, supplying Australian customers with natural gas and international customers with Liquefied natural gas (LNG). Each year APLNG supplies approximately 30 percent of the Australian east coast domestic gas market.

Origin Energy operates APLNG’s gas fields, upstream exploration, production and pipeline system, while ConocoPhillips operates the downstream LNG export facility and the LNG export sales business.

The LNG export facility employs state-of-the-art engineering and environmental technology and, wherever possible, utilises local and regional resources. The facility has two processing trains, each with a nameplate production capacity of 4.5mpta using the ConocoPhillips Optimized Cascade® Process.

There are two export offtake agreements in place for the LNG produced by APLNG - 7.6 MTPA to JV partner Sinopec, and 1 MTPA to Kansai Electric, both for 20 years.

ConocoPhillips, along with the shareholders of Australia Pacific LNG, value a constructive and trusted relationship with their local and regional communities, landowners and stakeholders from all levels of Government. APLNG has invested more than $41 million into community support programs.  Community investment in long-term sustainable programs is an on-going priority for ConocoPhillips.
