Karratha Gas Plant
The North West Shelf Project facilities include the Karratha Gas Plant, one of the most advanced integrated gas production systems in the world, where LNG, domestic gas, condensate and LPG is produced.
Located 1260km north of Perth, Western Australia and covering approximately 200 hectares, the Karratha Gas Plant facilities include five LNG processing trains, two domestic gas trains, six condensate stabilisation units, three LPG fractionation units as well as storage and loading facilities for LNG, LPG and condensate.
In 2008, LNG production capacity at the Karratha Gas Plant increased to 16.3 million tonnes a year with the start-up of a fifth, 4.4 million tonne-a-year LNG processing train.
Woodside operates these facilities on behalf of the North West Shelf Project.
