Major resource companies have invested heavily in Western Australia to increase production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for Asian markets.
Western Australia has five operating LNG export projects: the North West Shelf, Pluto, Gorgon, Wheatstone and Prelude. The State’s total LNG export capacity is about 50 million tonnes a year.
Western Australia’s LNG projects are well placed to supply customers in Asia. Western Australia currently exports most of its LNG production to Japan, the world’s biggest LNG consumer. New long term contracts with customers in China and India will make the distribution of the State’s future LNG exports more diverse.
The department publishes a statistical profile of the LNG industry in Western Australia.
