The decision to develop Papua LNG has been taken by Papua New Guinea Government to continue developing the infrastructures that will meet the needs of its growing population.

As the operator of the project along with its international partners ExxonMobil, Santos and Eneos Xplora, TotalEnergies is dedicated to making Papua LNG landmark project in terms of sustainable development, limiting GHG and methane emissions, providing significant social and economic impact to the communities and making a net positive contribution to biodiversity in country.

To that end, the Papua LNG project aligns with the highest international standards, such as the International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) Performance Standards or the Ecuador Principles.

Moreover, the Project is committed to delivering tangible benefits to the local communities. This includes creating job opportunities, supporting local businesses and investing in community development programs such as education, healthcare and infrastructure. By fostering strong partnerships with local stakeholders, the Papua LNG project ensures that the benefits of the project are shared widely, contributing to the overall wellbeing and prosperity of the communities involved.

While progressing on the way to the Final Investment Decision, Papua LNG  continues its health support to the communities, reinforces the network of basic infrastructure (water tanks, communication tower, community houses) and provides new classroom and educational support across the Project Area of Influence (PAoI). In the meantime, additional environmental studies and actions regarding biodiversity are also conducted, demonstrating Project’s ongoing efforts to preserve the natural environment.
