BG Group has announced that commercial operations have started from the second train at its Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG) plant. QGC, BG Group’s Australian subsidiary, has also assumed control of Train 2 from Bechtel Australia, which 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 10 vessels per month combined which is equivalent to exporting around 8 million tpy. 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.

"As we assume full control of the entire QCLNG plant, we remain focused on managing the facility safely and responsibly. The QGC and Bechtel team deserve great credit for the completion of the project, and I would also like to thank our partners, contractors, government authorities including the State of Queensland, together with the landholders and the communities from across the Surat Basin to Curtis Island for their support. They all helped us to not only connect QCLNG to more wells than any liquefaction plant in the world, but establish a new LNG industry based on natural gas in coal seams,” said Helge Lund, BG Group’s Chief Executive.

"With both trains now fully operational, QCLNG adds significant volumes and flexibility to our LNG shipping and marketing portfolio."
