Pre-clearing surveys (Cultural Heritage)

With a focus on cultural heritage, the Pre-Clearance Surveys (PCS) plays a crucial role in the preservation and conservation of cultural sites. Consultation with communities, recording of cultural material, and compliance with regulations and permits ensure the protection of Papua New Guinea’s cultural heritage.

Watch the third and last episode here, which covers the cultural heritage.

Pre-clearing surveys (Aquatic biodiversity)

As part of Papua LNG’s commitment to environmental stewardship, the Pre-Clearance surveys (PCS) are critical to understanding the physical and cultural landscape. In June 2023, an aquatic team from ERIAS (an independent environmental assessment agency) carried out water and soil quality assessments, and we were on site to witness their surveys.

Watch the second episode here, which covers the aquatic biodiversity.

At the end of June 2023, we followed the ERIAS (an independent environmental assessment agency) team on site as they carried out the Pre-clearing surveys (PCS) required under the Environment Act. We witnessed their work in assessing environmental sensitivities and features that may be affected by the Project.

Watch the first episode here, which covers the terrestrial biodiversity, including flora and fauna.

Earlier in May and in the first week of June 2023, the Papua LNG project team successfully updated local and international business houses in Papua New Guinea (PNG) the status of the Project, as well as crucial information regarding Upstream project packages of interest.

Two information sessions in the form of breakfast events, were held in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Port Moresby and Lae. Here below the highlight video.

From 6 to 16 May, 2023, Papua LNG achieved a major milestone by becoming the first company in PNG to transport and offload the first barge of aggregates from Port Moresby to our logistics base (Herd Base) on the Purari River. This complex mission was accomplished by the Logistics and Marine Operations team.

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.  

Gas resources in PNG have been estimated at over 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent. The Project will have a projected LNG export volume of 5.6 million tonnes per year (Mt/y).   

Watch this instructional video to understand the Project in its entirety.

Climate Change has wide ranging impact on biodiversity. Many animals and plants cannot adapt to impacts of climate change. Amphibians such as frogs have moist skin, which detect very small changes in the environment, such as moisture and temperature changes or any modification in nature balance.

This film shows frogs are affected by a global pandemic and how the Project assists in the global effort to protect these special creatures form extinctions.

On 7 October, 2022, Papua LNG organized a Project Information Session at the Stanley hotel, attended by over 200 members of the PNG business community.

If you would like to learn more about this special day from the actors themselves, please watch the video and the interviews with key people involved in the Project.

Zero Net Deforestation

The project has made a bold commitment to implementing the Zero Net Deforestation (ZND) policy.

The video below shows the project’s activities to effectively implement the ZND policy through the production of high value and native plantation species, the sustainable management of 7,500 hectares of native forest combined with plantations in Kuriva, a mangrove restoration and conservation programme in Koke Hanua and a sandalwood conservation programme.

The EIS Roadshow, mandated by the Environment Act, educates stakeholders about the activities, impacts, and mitigation measures of the Papua LNG project. Over 13 locations from 7 to 22 April, 2022, 31 communities and 2,870 attendees learned about the Project.

This informative event demonstrates Papua LNG’s dedication to protecting the environment while pursuing sustainable development. Embark on a sound and color adventure through the villages of the Project area.

The island of New Guinea is home to the third-largest tropical rainforest on earth, and Papua New Guinea boasts 7% of global biodiversity on less than 1% of the surface area.

Papua LNG is committed in balancing energy and biodiversity preservation.

In this video, you will understand the strategy used to achieve this goal.

The Port Moresby Technical College graduation ceremony was held on 6 April, 2022. This year Papua LNG again sponsored 57 students from the Gulf Province to study a variety of vocational programmes at POM Tech. Of these, 22 are female (38% of the total). The following day, Papua LNG organised a special event at the Port Moresby Apec House to celebrate the new graduates.

Listen to the moving testimonies of these students.

Papua LNG invests in the social wellbeing of the people living in its project area of influence, partnering with the Gulf Provincial Administration on programmes in health, education, capacity building, renewable energy and governance. Among these programmes is the partnership with the Kapuna Rural Hospital.

Located deep in the jungle along the Purari River, Kapuna Hospital serves a population of around 20,000.

This film shows one of the most emblematic examples of Papua LNG’s commitment to social responsibility and community development.

During its seven-year presence in Papua New Guinea for the development of the Papua LNG project, TotalEnergies EP PNG and its partners have multiplied their actions in favour of the local communities.
