Australia Pacific LNG today announced the shipment of one thousand cargos.
The milestone cargo departed Australia Pacific’s LNG facility on Curtis Island near Gladstone on the Cesi Gladstone, bound for China.
Australia Pacific LNG Chief Executive Officer Khoa Dao said, “Today marks a significant milestone for Australia Pacific LNG, as we have reliably and safely exported 1000 LNG cargoes to our customers in Asia, while maintaining our role as one of the largest gas suppliers to Australia’s domestic market.”
“The path to today has been nothing short of remarkable, bringing together three major energy businesses Origin Energy from Australia, ConocoPhillips from the United States and Sinopec from China. It’s a story of collaboration and determination to build a new export scale business supplying energy to the world and sharing benefits back with communities where we operate.”
In addition to creating local employment, since the project was established Australia Pacific LNG has provided benefits in excess of $5 billion through state government royalties, local government rates, spending with local business, access agreements with landholders, and community investment.
Australia Pacific LNG is one of the largest gas producers, LNG exporters and domestic gas suppliers on Australia’s east coast.
