Australia: APLNG to undergo maintenance in September

The Australia Pacific liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plant located on Curtis Island in Queensland will partially shut down for maintenance works in September.

The two-train 9 mtpa liquefaction plant will close half of a train on September 10, one whole unit during September 11 to 13, and one half of a production unit over September 14 to 17, according to a notice submitted to the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).

Australia Pacific LNG is a joint venture between ConocoPhillips (37.5%), Origin (37.5%) and Sinopec (25%).

Origin is responsible for the operation of the APLNG gas fields and main gas transmission pipeline while ConocoPhillips operates the LNG facility.
