Description
Description | The Barossa LNG project is a liquefied natural gas export project operated by Santos, processing gas from the Barossa offshore gas field located 300km north of Darwin. The project involves a floating production, storage and offloading vessel (BW Opal) and a LNG processing plant in Darwin. The project has faced multiple delays and operational issues since its final investment decision in 2021, including legal challenges, regulatory delays, and construction hurdles. The first LNG carrier left Darwin in January 2026, but the project has experienced shutdowns including a recent planned shutdown in March 2026 due to commissioning problems with the BW Opal vessel. |
