LONDON (Alliance News) - BG Group PLC Monday said it has begun loading its first liquefied natural gas from the second production train at the Queensland Curtis LNG facility in Australia.
An LNG train is a liquefied natural gas plant's liquefaction and purification facility.
The two production trains at the project are expected to produce enough LNG to load ten vessels per month combined, exporting around eight million tonnes per year by the time the project reaches plateau production in the middle of 2016, said BG.
"The start-up of Queensland Curtis LNG's second LNG train is another important operational milestone delivered in line with our plan. The completion of our upstream infrastructure and the two LNG trains are achievements of which BG Group, particularly our team in Australia, can be proud," said Chief Executive Helge Lund.
Commercial production at the project began in May 2015 when the ownership of the first production train was transferred to BG's subsidiary from the constructor. The second production train is currently undergoing commissioning.
