Australia Pacific LNG, the operator of the 9 mtpa LNG export facility on Curtis Island near Gladstone, has signed two new domestic gas sale agreements.
According to a statement by APLNG issued on Tuesday, the customers include Ampol Refineries and Alinta Energy.
CEO Dan Clark said the gas would be supplied later this year and fulfill part of APLNG’s commitments under the mandatory gas code.
“Together, this brings Australia Pacific LNG’s committed volumes to the East Coast market to
128 PJ for the 2025 calendar year to date,” Clark said.
In April, the JV offered an additional 3 PJ of gas through an expression of interest for supply during the third quarter of this year.
According to APLNG, the JV is a significant supplier to Australia’s east coast market, supplying approximately 30 percent of the domestic market year on year.
As context in 2024 APLNG contributed over 150 PJ which equates to around 85 percent of Victoria’s annual gas demand, it said.
APLNG is a joint venture between US-based ConocoPhillips (47.5 percent), Australia’s Origin Energy (27.5 percent), and China’s Sinopec (25 percent).
Origin operates APLNG’s gas fields, upstream exploration, production and pipeline system, while ConocoPhillips operates the downstream LNG export facility and the LNG export sales business.
There are two 20-year LNG export offtake agreements in place. One is for 7.6 mtpa to JV partner Sinopec, and the other is for 1 mtpa to Japan’s Kansai Electric.
