Australia's huge LNG project nears finish
The author says the construction of Australia's North West Shelf Project (NWSP) should be finished within a year, and the Australians will begin shipping liquefied natural gas to Japan. The LNG shipment will mark the conclusion of what is said to be the largest chemical processing construction project in the world today. In addition to providing the domestic energy resource for most of Australia, NWSP will launch Australia as a major energy exporter. The author discusses the origins of NWSP and the development strategy for the Australian resource. The development plan proceeded in two phases: provision of domestic gas, and then construction and operation of a very large liquefaction plant to produce LNG for shipment by tanker to overseas customers. The author describes each phase.
