Queensland Curtis A$34 billion LNG Project

Overview:

• Queensland Curtis LNG Project, one of the leading coal seam gas (CSG) projects in Australia, operated by QGC, a BG Group company. 
• The plant covers 270 hectares—or about 1%—of Curtis Island, and it has an output of 8 million tonnes of LNG a year.
• This $34 billion LNG project is one of the world's ten largest energy projects, and will be the world's first to turn coal CSG into liquefied natural gas (LNG).
• In 2015 the first gas was delivered to purchasers at the Curtis Island LNG facility.
