Japanese utility Kansai Electric said in a statement it has received today an LNG cargo from Woodside’s Pluto project at its Himeji terminal.
The utility said it has received about 70,000 mt of LNG onboard the 165.000 cbm Woodside Donaldson.
Kansai Electric has a 5% stake in the Pluto LNG project and a 15-year deal to buy about 2 million tonnes of LNG per annum.
The Pluto LNG Project comprises an offshore platform in 85m of water, connected to five subsea wells on the Pluto gas field.
Gas is piped in a 180km trunkline to the onshore facility, located between the North West Shelf Project and Dampier Port on the Burrup Peninsula.
Onshore infrastructure comprises a single LNG processing train with a production capacity of 4.3 million tonnes a year.
Storage and loading facilities at the plant include two LNG tanks with a combined capacity of 240,000 m³, three smaller condensate tanks and an LNG and condensate export jetty.
