Santos eyes Darwin LNG expansion

Santos is exploring potential liquefied natural gas (LNG) expansion developments for its Darwin export plant in northern Australia after signing a memorandum of understanding with Italy’s Eni.

“The areas of cooperation include assessing the synergies of sharing possible infrastructures associated with gas field developments around Barossa and Evans Shoal, pipeline to Darwin LNG (DLNG) and onshore associated gas processing leading to LNG expansion developments,” Santos said in a statement today.

The pair are also investigating options to re-purpose the Bayu-Undan facilities to extend the life of the project, including a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project, subject to the agreement of the Timor-Leste government.
