Australian LNG exports hit new highs

According to an EnergyQuest report, the country’s LNG exports grew by 9.3 million t (18.5 per cent) to 59.7 million t in 2017-2018.

This growth was driven most notably by Chevron’s Gorgon and Wheatstone projects, both situated off the coast of Western Australia, which combined accounted for 7.9 million t of the increase.

About 46 per cent of deliveries were made to Japan, the nation’s biggest LNG customer, with second-placed China recording an increase of 6.5 million t and making up for 34 per cent of exports.

The total export revenue was estimated to have increased 38 per cent from the previous year to $30.8 billion.
