The contract was awarded by Japan’s JKC Ichthys LNG Joint Venture which will deliver engineering, procurement and construction services for the onshore LNG plant facility for the project.
Mitsubishi will deliver the equipment, which will support processes to produce LNG from natural gas, beginning in August 2013.
Gas produced from the Ichthys Field will undergo preliminary processing offshore and will then be exported through an 889km subsea pipeline to onshore processing facilities in Darwin.
The Ichthys LNG Project is expected to produce 8.4 million tonnes of LNG and 1.6 million tonnes of LPG per annum, along with 100,000 barrels of condensate per day.
