LNG

Australian liquefied natural gas export plants in Western Australia and Queensland exported a total of 93 cargoes in May, with six of them spot cargoes, down from 101 shipments the previous month, while deliveries to China kept their momentum as Japan and South Korea imports were lower or flat.

Australian LNG export figures confirmed the nation as the world’s No. 1 producer with its 77.5 million tonnes outpacing Qatar last year and with nameplate capacity at Australian liquefaction plants at 88MT for the start of 2020.
