APLNG extends domestic gas supply commitment

Australia Pacific LNG, the operator of the 9 mtpa LNG export facility on Curtis Island near Gladstone, has reaffirmed its commitment to the east coast market by extending its current domestic gas supply agreement under the government’s gas code of conduct.

According to APLNG, the JV will offer up to 40 petajoules of gas– ten petajoules each year for four years – ensuring continued supply under the gas market code across 2026 – 2029.

APLNG chief executive Dan Clark said, ‘‘Australia Pacific LNG continues to support the
domestic market, providing essential supply and greater certainty for Australian gas
users now and into the future.”

Moreover, he said the volumes being offered will “help ease supply pressures and support long-term domestic contracting.”

“This contribution is made possible by the strength of Australia Pacific LNG’s gas
reserves and continued investment in supply,” Clark said.

Since starting production in early 2015, APLNG has been a “substantial” contributor to the east coast domestic gas market, meeting around a third of annual supply.

To date this calendar year, APLNG has already committed around 128PJ of gas to the
domestic market through existing contracts and has offered an additional 77 PJ.

Also, APLNG contributed 154 PJs to the domestic market in 2024.

Gas produced and supplied domestically by APLNG is used in a wide range of industrial
and mining processes, manufacturing, and gas-fired electricity generation.

APLNG

Australia’s Origin Energy is the upstream operator of APLNG, while Sinopec owns a 25 percent share in the JV.

US energy giant ConocoPhillips has a 47.5 percent share in the APLNG project and operates the 9 mtpa LNG export facility on Curtis Island.

Last year, APLNG shipped its 1000th LNG cargo since it started operations in 2016.

There are two export offtake agreements in place for LNG produced by APLNG.

These include a contract for 7.6 mtpa to JV partner Sinopec, and also 1 mtpa to Japan’s Kansai Electric, both for 20 years.
