Since breaking ground at Bladin Point in Darwin three years ago, the Ichthys LNG project onshore landscape has transformed and an 8.4 mtpa LNG plant is rapidly emerging.

When completed, the project’s onshore facilities will include: two LNG processing trains, LPG and condensate plants, product storage tanks, a combined cycle power plant, administration facilities, utilities and a product load out jetty.

The Inpex-operated $34 billion LNG project in Australia is reportedly slightly behind schedule, but the project is still on target for start-up by the end of 2016.

The Ichthys project is a joint venture between Inpex, major partner Total, CPC Corporation and the Australian subsidiaries of Tokyo Gas, Osaka Gas, Kansai Electric, Chubu Electric Power and Toho Gas.

Gas from the Ichthys field, in the Browse Basin offshore Western Australia, will be exported to the onshore processing facilities in Darwin via an 889 km pipeline.
