The consultancy estimates that Australian LNG export revenue reached A$4.68 billion ($3.27 billion) last month.
EnergyQuest said this was up by A$0.79 billion (+20 percent) from A$3.89 billion in May.
The June result was marginally down by A$0.09 billion (-2 percent) from June 2025’s A$4.77 billion.
According to EnergyQuest, this was principally due to lower average prices being offset by higher volumes, which were up by 0.59 Mt (+10 percent) as total exports during June 2025 were 6.20 Mt.
98 cargoes
Based on shipping data, EnergyQuest estimates that Australia exported 6.79 Mt of LNG in June 2026, totaling 98 cargoes.
This represented an increase of 12.6 percent from May 2026, when exports totaled 6.03 Mt, for 88 cargoes.
When annualized, June’s exports represent 82.6 Mtpa, equivalent to 96 percent of the total Australian nameplate capacity of 86 Mtpa.
Combined, the five Western Australia projects (NWS, Pluto, Gorgon, Prelude, and Wheatstone) shipped 55 cargoes totaling 3.85 Mt of LNG during June, seven cargoes for 0.51 Mt more than they exported during May when they shipped 48 cargoes for 3.34 Mt, the consultancy said.
The June result was also up by seven cargoes for 0.45 Mt compared to June 2025 when they shipped 48 cargoes for 3.40 Mt, it said.
Moreover, the Ichthys LNG and the Darwin LNG project shipped 14 cargoes for 1.05 Mt during June – up by three cargoes and 0.22 Mt on the 11 cargoes for 0.83 Mt they shipped during May and by two cargoes and 0.16 Mt on the 12 cargoes they shipped for 0.89 Mt shipped during June 2025, EnergyQuest said.
Combined, the three Queensland projects (APLNG, GLNG, QCLNG) shipped 29 cargoes for 1.89 Mt, identical in cargoes but marginally more in volume (+0.03 Mt) than in May, and identical in cargoes but marginally less in volume (-0.02 Mt) than in June 2025, EnergyQuest said.
