Firm wins LNG company award

 ExxonMobil PNG Limited has won the 2015 Asia Pacific Midstream – LNG Company of the Year award.

It is the operator of the Papua New Guinea US$19 billion (K56.8 billion) liquefied natural gas project. 

The award was presented by the Oil and Gas Council at the Asia-Pacific Oil and Gas awards dinner in Singapore on January 27. 

ExxonMobil PNG Limited managing director Andrew Barry accepted the award on behalf of the company and the project.

“The award is a reflection of the world-class nature of the PNG LNG project, our ability to build on our early successes and our reputation as a reliable supplier of LNG (liquefied natural gas),” Barry said. 

“The hard work and cooperation of the Papua New Guinea Government and provincial governments, our co-venture partners, suppliers and contractors, landowners and communities in and around the areas we work allow the project to maintain its highest level of performance.”

He said the company was proud of its success and continued to explore growth opportunities in Papua New Guinea.  

Oil and Gas Council chairman Ross Stewart Campbell said the success of tomorrow’s LNG market would be built and benchmarked on the success of today’s LNG projects.
