Papua LNG

The Papua LNG project is a direct response to the growing need for energy in the Asia Market, a strong contribution to the economic growth of Papua New Guinea, a focus on people development and a landmark project in terms of sustainability, carbon footprint optimisation and biodiversity consideration.

The Papua LNG project has an estimated production rate of 5.6 million tonnes per year of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

The integrated Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) has been announced on March the 6^th, 2023 and a final investment decision (FID) should be taken around end 2023.

The Papua LNG project will ensure that a skilled local workforce is established and expects to offer over 3,000 positions to nationals over the lifespan of the Project.

The Papua LNG project integrate sustainability as one of the main pillars.  This is already illustrated by the innovative solution to reinject CO2 from the producing wells from day one. In terms of biodiversity, the Papua LNG project wants to enhance the area and commits to be positive biodiversity net gain.

An Independent Advisory Panel with important experts from various sectors (tropical forest, anthropology, and community development) has been set up to develop recommendations for better contributions to the communities and to achieve the positive biodiversity net gain.

Papua LNG is a liquefied natural gas (LNG) production project led by TotalEnergies in response to Papua New Guinea’s desire to develop its gas resources. The gas resources have been estimated at over 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent. The Project will have an LNG export volume of 5.6 million tonnes per year (Mt/y).

Papua LNG project will be an exemplary project in its deployment. The Papua LNG project will pay particular attention to the environment and biodiversity, and it will strongly respect the rights of local populations.
