LNG received at the Terminal will be re-gasified and combined with natural gas produced from the INPEX-operated Minami-Nagaoka Gas Field, and then supplied to customers located along INPEX’s 1,500 kilometer-long natural gas trunk pipeline network stretching across the Kanto-Koshinetsu and Hokuriku regions. The arrival of LNG produced from the Ichthys LNG Project at the Terminal is a significant milestone for INPEX, as it organically links the company’s LNG development business LNG carrier “Pacific Breeze” arrives at Naoetsu LNG Terminal laden with Ichthys’ first LNG cargo overseas to its gas distribution network in Japan. By reaching this milestone, INPEX has taken a significant st

  October 23, 2018 - INPEX CORPORATION (INPEX) announced today that the INPEX-operated Ichthys LNG Project (the Project) recently commenced shipment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as the first shipment of LNG departed the onshore gas liquefaction plant in Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia en route to the INPEX-operated Naoetsu LNG Terminal in Niigata Prefecture, Japan. The shipment follows the Project’s shipment of condensate (ultra-light crude oil), which commenced on October 1, 2018, as announced on the same day. The Project is scheduled to gradually increase its production volume of LNG, and produce approximately 8.9 million tons of LNG per year, equivalent to more than 10% of Japan’s annual LNG import volume, when it reaches its production plateau. As approximately 70% of the LNG produced by the Project is scheduled to be supplied to Japanese customers, INPEX will further contribute to the stable supply of energy to Japan through the Project and continue to respond to t
