​Angore tie-in project to begin

The new 11 kilometre pipeline, including the installation of production equipment at the Angore Well Pad, is the focus for ExxonMobil, says Managing Director Andrew Barry.

Speaking at the recent Australia-PNG Business Council Forum, Barry said following the connection of Well Pad F, which is the highest well pad with an elevation of 2800 metres (which began production this week), this year the focus would be on Angore.

Angore lies east to the Hides Plant.

​PNGEITI commends ExxonMobil

PNG EITI Head of Secretariat, Lucas Alkan, citing media reports last week that 300 shipment of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) cargoes have been made so far, said it was pleasing to note the company disclosing such information so that the public can be kept informed.

This is three years after the first shipment left on May 25, 2014.

Operations last year produced 7.9 million tons of LNG – an increase of 14 percent from the original design specification of 6.9 million tons per annum (mta).
