LNG

Australian LNG operator Santos has completed the acquisition of the northern Australia and Timor-Leste assets of US major ConocoPhillips for a reduced purchase price of US$1.265 billion because of the oil price slump.

The Japanese oil, gas and LNG company Inpex, operator of the Ichthys LNG plant in northern Australia and developer of the Abadi LNG project in Indonesia, expects consolidated six-month operating income to June 2020 to drop by over 48 percent and plans to take out government loans.
