The P’nyang project will deliver the liquefied natural gas (LNG) through new upstream facilities, which will be built in the Western Province, connected to the existing infrastructure.

Production will begin following the receipt of the final investment decision by the co-venturers of the P’nyang project.

ExxonMobil Upstream Oil and Gas president Liam Mallon said: “On behalf of ExxonMobil, and the other co-venturers, I thank the PNG national government, along with the government of Western Province, for their partnership in moving the P’nyang project forward.

“The P’nyang project gas agreement marks a significant milestone and underscores the intent of all stakeholders, to set a clear framework toward the P’nyang project’s future development.”
