Development Project (the Ichthys project) is a joint venture between INPEX group companies (INPEX), major partner, Total group companies, and the Australian subsidiaries of Tokyo Gas, Osaka Gas, Chubu Electric Power Company and Toho Gas. INPEX intends to develop the Ichthys Field in the Browse Basin off the north-west coast of Western Australia to produce liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate for export to markets in Japan and elsewhere. The Ichthys gas field is located in the Browse Basin, approximately 210 km north-west of the coast of mainland Western Australia and 820 km west-south-west of Darwin, Northern Territory (NT), Australia (Figure 1-1). The Ichthys project will allow for the extraction and transmission of natural gas from the Ichthys gas field through the Gas Export Pipeline (GEP) to the onshore processing facilities at Blaydin Point in Darwin Harbour for processing into liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate. Export of condensate for the international market will also occur directly from the offshore floating facilities via off-take tankers [Ref A1]. Figure 1-1 The Ichthys gas field and GEP route Saipem (Portugal) Comércio Maritimo (Australian Branch) (Saipem) has been awarded the engineering and installation contract by INPEX for the GEP associated with the Ichthys project. The GEP Environment Plan (EP) has been developed to cover Saipem’s scope of work in respect of the offshore GEP installation activities - from a pre-lay survey through to the completion of pipeline installation.

  • Role of the Energy Charter
    Fostering LNG Trade: Role of the Energy Charter Energy Charter Secretariat 2008 THE ENERGY CHARTER TREATY The Energy Charter Treaty is a unique legally-binding multilateral instrument covering investment protection, liberalisation of trade, freedom of transit, dispute settlement and environmental aspects in the energy sector. It is designed to promote energy security through the operation of more open and competitive energy markets, while respecting the principles of sustainable development and sovereignty over energy resources. The Treaty is the only agreement of its kind dealing with intergovernmental cooperation in the energy sector, covering the whole energy value chain (from exploration to end use) and all energy products and energy-related equipment. Based on the Energy Charter of 1991, which was a political declaration signalling the intent to strengthen international energy ties, the Energy Charter Treaty was signed in December 1994 and entered into force in April 1998. To date, the Treaty’s membership covers fifty-one states plus the European Communities, which together represent nearly 40% of global GDP. Twenty more states and ten international organisations have the status of observers. • Members of the Energy Charter Treaty: Albania, Armenia, Austria, Australia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, European Communities, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Liechtenstein,

Country Australia Project Category A Canadian Exporter Shawcor Ltd. Description of capital goods and/or services Sale of various Canadian goods and services EDC Product Financing Date of publication on EDC’s website 23/07/12 Date(dd/m ofm /Siyyg)n ing (dd/mm/yy) 18/12/12 Project Categorization The project involves the upstream and downstream development of a fully integrated Liquefied Natural Gas, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), and Petroleum Condensate project. The Ichthys gas/condensate field is located in the Browse Basin, off the coast of Australia’s Northern Territory. Most of the condensate will be separated from the gas in offshore facilities and exported by tanker. Most of thegas (natural gas and LPG) will be delivered via a 900-kilometre pipeline to a two-train onshore processing facility to be located at Blaydin Point, near Darwin. The project was classified as Category A. (Category definitions can be found here, see D3 Environmental & Social Reporting). Summary of EDC’s Review EDC reviewed the project in accordance with its Environmental and Social Review Directive and the Equator Principles, and concluded that the project is designed to meet or exceed internationally recognized good practices, guidelines or standards. In reaching this conclusion, EDC reviewed a project environmental impact statement and environmental management plans which were reviewed for appropriate mitigation measures against the project’s potential environmental and social effects.

  • Key Offshore Activities
    2016 update Figure 1: The ENSCO 5006 mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU), one of two MODUs that are drilling development wells for the first phase of the Ichthys LNG Project INPEX, on behalf of the joint venture participants of the Ichthys Gas Field Development Project (Ichthys LNG Project), will conduct a number of offshore gas–condensate field development activities in 2016. Background This fact sheet has been prepared as part of the implementation strategy detailed in the accepted environment plans (EPs) for Ichthys LNG Project offshore activities. It is intended to provide stakeholders with a periodic update on those activities. It also contains information relevant to the gas export pipeline (GEP) operation phase that will be described in an EP to be submitted in 2016 to the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA). The fact sheet includes a brief description and the approximate location, timing and duration of key activities and vessels used to provide support. Detailed information for each activity was included in fact sheets that were issued in 2013 and 2014 and in an update provided in 2015. Any of those fact sheets can be provided promptly upon request (refer to page 4). Additional information sources for the Project’s offshore activities and associated approvals are listed on page 4, along with channels for stakeholder feedback and enquiries. Activity status and indicative schedule Offshore construction and installation activities and first-phase development well drilling are well under way. Some activities have already been completed. The table below provides a basic schedule of these activities, with greater detail on pages 2–3.

    AUSTRALIAN LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS (LNG) – CLEAN ENERGY FOR A SECURE FUTURE Contents 3 Foreword by the Australian Minister for Resources, Energy and Tourism 5 Overview 7 Key Statistics 7 What is LNG? 8 Australia’s Natural Gas Resources 8 Planned and Potential LNG Projects 11 Government Support 16 Market Studies 16 Petroleum Regulation (Exploration and Development) 16 Foreign Investment in LNG Projects in Australia 17 Petroleum and Geoscience Information 17 Royalties and Petroleum Resource Rent Tax 17 Petroleum Resource Rent Tax 19 Royalties 19 LNG Safety and Security 19 National Offshore Petroleum Safety Authority 20 Australia’s Safety Regime 20 Australia’s Maritime Security 20 Foreword by the Australian Minister for Resources, Energy and Tourism 5 The technical, economic and environmental advantages of liquefied natural gas (LNG) have made it a global fuel of choice. Abundant gas resources and an excellent record as a safe and secure supplier make Australia a preferred provider of natural gas to the Asia-Pacific region. Further, the Australian LNG industry has proven itself to be one of the most socially and environmentally responsible industries in the world. Global trade in LNG is increasing. Over the next 20 years, the industry can expect existing buyers to significantly increase their consumption and strong growth in markets such as China and India. In recent years, Australia’s credentials as a competitive and reliable supplier have been reinforced through long-term deals secured in the Asia-Pacific region by Australian LNG producers. In turn, this will facilitate further sales, allowing Australia to achieve a greater share of the global LNG market.
