In 1998, INPEX acquired an exploration permit in the block where the Ichthys Gas-Condensate Field is now located, and following development studies including exploration, evaluation, and front-end engineering design (FEED) work, INPEX announced its final investment decision (FID) in January 2012. Following the completion and commissioning of production facilities, INPEX commenced production in July 2018 and later began shipping condensate, LNG, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Stable production has continued since the launch of production in 2018, and 117 LNG cargoes were shipped from the plant in 2021. Maintenance required for safe and stable operations will be conducted for approximately one month, from July to August 2022. Shipments of approximately 10 LNG cargoes per month are expected in fiscal 2022 as well. We are improving the production process to further increase the current annual LNG production capacity of 8.9 million tons and building a framework to stably supply 9.3 million tons per year by 2024.
Introduction of CCS
While maintaining and expanding LNG production, INPEX addresses climate change by considering CCS projects for capture, underground injection and storage of the CO2 emitted from our production operations. Specifically, we plan to drill appraisal wells in northern Australia for implementation of CCS. We will introduce CCS to Ichthys in the late-2020s and aim to start injection of 2 million tons of CO2 per year as a first step.
