Santos GLNG’s Major Gas Compression Facilities All Operational

All three of Santos GLNG’s major natural gas compression hubs are now operational, marking the end of the first phase of gas field construction, the company announced Friday.

“The construction and commissioning of these three major hubs is a significant milestone on our pathway to first LNG production around the end of the third quarter of this year,” Santos Vice President Queensland Trevor Brown said. “This is a year of delivery for Santos GLNG. Our gas field facilities are complete, our wells are performing strongly, our pipeline is supplying gas to our LNG plant, and we’re approaching 95% completion overall.”

The three hubs have a nameplate capacity to process 555 terajoules of gas per day, the equivalent daily consumption of more than nine million homes, Santos said.

Santos GLNG is a joint venture between Santos, PETRONAS, Total and KOGAS to supply liquefied natural gas to global markets.
