Construction of the A$10-billion Ichthys liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, offshore Western Australia, was some 81% complete, and the project was on track for first LNG production in the third quarter of 2017.
Energy major Inpex Corporation’s project manager for the Ichthys project, Louis Bon, told delegates at the eighteenth LNG conference, in Perth, that the operator has finished laying a 42-inch subsea gas export pipeline and infield pipelay, while starting drilling at its planned production wells.
