The Queensland Curtis LNG facility in Australia
BG Group has announced that commercial operations has begun from the second train at Queensland Curtis LNG plant from Bechtel Australia, that built the facility.
BG Group now has full control of both LNG trains and associated facilities at QCLNG. By mid-2016 the integrated project is expected to reach plateau production, producing enough LNG to load around ten vessels per month combined which is equivalent to exporting around eight million tonnes per year. Since starting production in December 2014, 71 cargoes have been shipped.
The partners in Train 2 are BG Group (97.5%) and Tokyo Gas (2.5%), which is also a foundation customer.
