First LNG export this year, Abbott told

 AUSTRALIAN Prime Minister Tony Ab­bott has been told that the liquefied natural gas project will start exporting this year.
LNG project managing director Peter Graham gave Abbott the assurance when he visited the plant site outside Port Moresby on Saturday.
Abbott was given an overview of the project by Graham before touring the main facilities.
Abbott said he was impressed by the magnitude and size of the project and the impact that it would have on Papua New Guinea.
Initial supply for the project, which will have its first exports next year, will come from four major well pads (drills) at Hides, in Hela.
They are Well Pad B, which has two wells – Well Pad C and Well Pad D – and Well Pad G, which are all in the vicinity of the Hides gas conditioning plant.
The 22-inch feeder lines, which come from the well pads to the Hides gas conditioning plant, will import gas, condensate, water, and impurities.
It gets processed and separated, with condensate in an eight-inch pipe and gas in a 32-inch pipe that will flow on to Port Moresby for export.
