Description
Description | Papua LNG is a liquefied natural gas project in Papua New Guinea operated by TotalEnergies. The project has faced delays due to high contractor prices and challenging regulatory, provincial government, and landowner demands. The project is undergoing a re-bid process for engineering, procurement, and construction contracts, with bids from various international contractors. The project aims to transport gas from the Elk-Antelope fields to the existing PNG LNG facility operated by ExxonMobil. The project sanction is now more likely in mid-2026, with a joint meeting planned to address cost escalations and progress towards the final investment decision (FID). |
