The consultancy estimates that Australian LNG export revenue reached A$4.99 billion ($3.27 billion) last month.
EnergyQuest said this was slightly down from May’s $5.19 billion and marginally lower, by 1.3 percent, year-on-year from June 2024 (A$5.06 billion).
Western Australia projects earned A$2.70 billion in export revenue, Queensland projects earned A$1.59 billion, and Northern Territory projects earned A$0.71 billion.
Maintenance
Over the past three months, WA shipments have been characterized by scheduled maintenance undertaken on Chevron’s Wheatstone and Gorgon LNG plants, as well as the Woodside-led North West Shelf project.
Consequently, production and shipping volumes have been impacted, EnergyQuest noted.
In June 2025, five fewer cargoes were loaded in WA LNG ports compared to May 2025.
As the cooler months approach, the three Queensland projects have taken the opportunity to commence planned maintenance with the QCLNG project having the equivalent of up to one train offline for approximately two weeks during May (and into June).
In June, the GLNG project undertook planned maintenance with up to one train being offline for approximately three weeks, which carried over into the first week of July, EnergyQuest said.
Meanwhile, APLNG has maintenance scheduled for mid-to-late-July, with up to the equivalent of one train being offline for up to two weeks, it said.
Shipments
Despite these planned maintenance schedules, the projects shipped 29 cargoes for a combined total of 2 Mt during June, higher than the 28 cargoes for 1.82 Mt shipped during May, the consultancy said.
During June 2025, the Ichthys project in NT, shipped 12 cargoes for 0.89 Mt compared to shipping 12 cargoes for 0.88 Mt in May, and 11 cargoes for 0.82 Mt during April, EnergyQuest said.
Based on shipping data, EnergyQuest estimates that Australia exported 6.29 Mt of LNG in June 2025, totaling 89 cargoes.
This was a decrease compared to May 2025, when Australia exported 6.40 Mt and 93 cargoes.
When annualised, June’s exports represent 76.5 Mtpa, equivalent to 86.4 percent of total Australian nameplate capacity, EnergyQuest said.
