We support domestic supply
We are actively doing our fair share to supply the domestic market.
Domestic Supply Contributor
We are a 47.5% shareholder in APLNG, the largest supplier of natural gas to the domestic market of the East Coast LNG producers.
Domestic Market Commitment
APLNG supplies approximately 20% of the Australian east coast domestic gas market each year.
Exploration Investments
In 2025, we led exploration in the Otway Basin that discovered natural gas near existing domestic gas infrastructure.
Do ConocoPhillips’ investments support Australia’s domestic gas supply?
- Yes, ConocoPhillips supports Australia’s domestic supply via its 47.5% ownership of APLNG - the largest supplier of natural gas to the domestic market of the East Coast LNG producers contributing over 2,300 petajoules to date, with a further ~600 petajoules contracted to domestic customers until 2035. That total supply of natural gas is equivalent to the energy used to power every Australian home for around six to seven years.
- Since 2011, APLNG has invested over AU$60 billion dollars to develop coal seam gas fields, build transport infrastructure, and process gas for both domestic and international use.
- APLNG invests over AU$2.5 billion a year in our gas fields to keep production stable for domestic and international supply.
- In addition, to the significant investment by ConocoPhillips Australia in APLNG, ConocoPhillips Australia has invested more than AU$100 million exploring the Otway basin in an effort to find natural gas that can be supplied to the Australian domestic market and be part of the solution to Victoria’s forecast gas shortfall in the coming years.
