THE Government will make a major statement on a third liquefied natural gas train and the Papua LNG project, says Petroleum and Energy Minister Ben Micah.
Micah said this would be a confidence booster for the country despite the low prices on the world market and a glut of supply.
“I will be making, after consultation with the prime minister, a major announcement on the PNG LNG project third train and the Papua LNG project,” he told The National.
“In spite of all these things, we are going to pull off these projects.”
Micah said buyers, investors and financiers were ready for the projects.
“We will be announcing a final investment decision (for Papua LNG Project) next year, and we will be ready to deliver gas when business is coming back,” he said.
“Prices are expected to leap to US$50-60 per barrel.”
Micah said the current low prices and glut on the world market was no excuse for PNG to be complacent. He said PNG would soon have five LNG trains in the next three years – three for the PNG LNG project and two for the Papua LNG project.
“We’ll be delivering LNG cargo (from Papua) by the time the market evens out and prices will stabilise,” Micah said. “We are not going to sit around and wait for the prices to go up. We are going to deliver another three trains of gas.”
