The project, which will be designed with a production capacity of 8 million tpa is planned to be constructed on Curtis Island, off the coast of Gladstone, on the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The project has the potential to expand its capacity up to 16 million tpa in the future. The LNG plant will be supplied with Coal Seam Gas (CSG) from the Surat and Bowen Basins in Queensland and will process, treat and liquefy the gas for export.
