Curtis Island is home to the Santos-operated GLNG plant, the ConocoPhillips-led APLNG terminal, and Shell’s QCLNG facility.
These are the only LNG export facilities on Australia’s east coast.
About 1.98 million tonnes of LNG or 30 cargoes left the three Gladstone terminals on Curtis Island last month, GPC’s data shows.
This compares to about 1.83 million tonnes of LNG or 29 cargoes in August 2023.
August LNG exports also rose compared to the month before when LNG exports reached some 1.70 million tonnes of LNG or 26 cargoes.
Most of August LNG exports (1.31 tonnes) landed in China, marking a rise of 18.6 percent compared to 1.10 million tonnes last year.
Other destinations for Gladstone LNG exports in August include South Korea (240,679 tonnes), Malaysia (182,625 tonnes), Thailand (127,881 tonnes), Singapore (68,714 tonnes), and the Philippines (52,241 tonnes).
