Feb 27 (LNGJ) – Western Australia, the main LNG-producing state in the country, is boosting its domestic supplies. AWE Ltd, operator of a production licence in the Western Australian onshore Perth Basin, has agreed a non-binding accord with AGL Wholesale Gas for the first gas sale from stage two of the Waitsia Gas Project. The deal is for 15 percent of nominal daily production capacity. Total capacity will be the equivalent of 95 million cubic feet per day, or 10 percent of the Western Australian domestic gas needs for 10 years. “AGL is one of Australia’s leading integrated energy companies and we are pleased to be able to contribute to their entry into the Western Australia market with the first gas sale from Waitsia stage two,” said David Biggs, Chief Executive of AWE.
