Malaysia to Get First Supply from GLNG in 2015

Malaysia can expect to receive the first LNG cargo from the Gladstone Liquefied Natural Gas (GLNG) project in Australia in the first quarter of 2015, Malaysia news agency Bernama has reported.

Based in Queensland, the GLNG project involves developing gas fields from the Bowen and Surat Basins in south western Queensland and will transport the gas via a 420 kilometre underground pipeline to an LNG plant on Curtis Island, off the coat of Gladstone.

The project is a joint-venture project between Malaysia's Petronas, Santos, Total and KOGAS, and converts coal seam gas into LNG. 

"We look forward to receiving the first CSG to LNG cargo to Malaysia to come from the GLNG project by the first quarter of 2015," Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was quoted by the agency as saying.
