Australia Pacific LNG has produced the equivalent of a cargo of LNG from the second train at its LNG Facility on Curtis Island near Gladstone, Queensland.

Australia Pacific LNG CEO, Page Maxson, said the second train had produced 150 Mcm of LNG, equivalent to the volume required to fill an LNG ship.

“The second train is up and running, enabling our LNG Facility on Curtis Island to deliver commercial quantities of LNG at sustained output from both trains.”

“ We currently provide approximately 25% of domestic gas to the east coast market, with sufficient reserves to meet both LNG and domestic demand,” Mr Maxson said.

In recent days, Australia Pacific LNG successfully completed the 120-day operational test period relating to the first train at the LNG facility. This is the critical test set forth in the project financing completion agreements.

The completion of all tests for the first train is expected in coming weeks. LNG production from Australia Pacific LNG’s first train began in December 2015 and the first LNG cargo was exported in January 2016. To date Australia Pacific LNG has loaded a total of 47 cargoes.
