Total starts offshore production at Ichthys LNG project




Total SA said that the Ichthys LNG project reached a major milestone with the opening of the first offshore production well. Marking the start of 40 years of operations of this gas and condensate field.
At full capacity, the offshore facilities are expected to produce 1,600 million metric standard cubic meters per day (mmscfd) of gas (285,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day) and 85,000 barrels of condensate per day.
The gas will be exported to an onshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant which will produce 8.9 million tons of LNG per year for supplying the Asian market, and approximately 1.65 million tons of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) per year as well as an additional 15,000 barrels of condensate a day.
The project consists of the development of the Ichthys gas and condensate field offshore northwestern Australia (in 260 meters of water depth) and 889-kilometer gas pipeline together with an onshore LNG plant near Darwin in the Northern Territory. The offshore facilities consist of a subsea well development connected to a central processing facility (CPF) for gas treatment and a floating processing, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel for condensate.
