(KPL/Yonhap) SK Innovation E&S, the energy arm of Republic of Korea's SK Group, said Tuesday it has shipped liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Republic of Korea for the first time from an Australian offshore gas field in which it invested 14 years ago.
The company began production last month at the Barossa gas field, located about 300 kilometers off Australia's northwestern coast.
The initial LNG cargo was transported to the nearby Darwin LNG terminal for liquefaction and shipped to Japan. A subsequent shipment bound for Republic of Korea was also liquefied at the Darwin facility, the company said in a press release.
It marks the first time a private Republic of Korean company has produced LNG through an overseas resource development project.
