The consultancy estimates that Australian LNG export revenue reached A$5.43 billion ($3.5 billion) last month.
EnergyQuest said this was lower than March’s A$5.58 billion, but down by only 0.5 percent year-on-year from April 2024 (A$5.46 billion).
Western Australia projects earned A$3.13 billion in export revenue, Queensland projects earned A$1.66 billion, and Northern Territory projects earned A$0.64 billion.
Shipments
EnergyQuest estimates that Australia exported 6.90 Mt of LNG in April 2025, totalling 98 cargoes.
This is a decrease compared to March 2025, when Australia exported 7.11 Mt and 101 cargoes.
When annualised, April’s exports represent 83.9 Mtpa, equivalent to 94.7 percent of total Australian nameplate capacity, the consultancy said.
Combined, the five WA projects (NWS, Pluto, Gorgon, Prelude, and Wheatstone) shipped 56 cargoes during April for 3.97 Mt.
According to EnergyQuest, this compares to 59 cargoes for 4.17 Mt in March, 48 cargoes for 3.38 Mt in February, 54 cargoes for 3.80 Mt in January, 58 cargoes for 4.11 Mt in December, and 56 cargoes for 3.92 Mt in November.
During April 2025, Queensland’s three Gladstone projects shipped 31 cargoes for a combined total of 2.11 Mt, down on the 33 cargoes for 2.26 Mt shipped during March.
The consultancy said the April liftings were, however, much higher than February’s total of 29 cargoes for 1.95 Mt.
The NT (Ichthys only) shipped 11 cargoes for 0.82 Mt in April 2025, compared to nine cargoes for 0.68 Mt in March and 10 cargoes for 0.74 Mt in February, it said.
