• Australia currently has ten operating LNG facilities with total nameplate capacity of almost 90 mtpa.
• Other projects are also being considered.
• Western Australia capacity is 50 mtpa across 5 LNG projects, 2 of which represent almost 60%.
• These two projects are Gorgon (16 mtpa) and Wheatstone (9 mtpa), tapping gas from the Greater Gorgon area field which has more than 35 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of resources.
• Gorgon is developed by Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Shell.
• Queensland can produce 25 mtpa from 3 projects.
• Northern Territory’s 2 projects have a capacity of over 12 mtpa.
