The Ichthys project is expected to produce 8.9 million tonnes of LNG and 1.6 million tonnes of LPG a year.

In addition, more than 100,000 barrels of condensate per day would be produced at peak.

First production from the field is scheduled for 2017.

Gas and condensate produced will be exported to onshore facilities for processing near Darwin through the pipeline.

An FPSO facility permanently moored near the field in the Browse Basin would be used to ship most condensate to global markets.
