Where is Tassie Shoal LNG Terminal?

Tassie Shoal LNG Terminal is an LNG export terminal in Northern Territory, Australia. It is made up of 1 tracked train or phase.

Is Tassie Shoal LNG Terminal operating?

Tassie Shoal LNG Terminal is cancelled. Nothing here should be read as a forecast that it will be built.

How much LNG can Tassie Shoal LNG Terminal handle?

Global Energy Monitor reports no capacity for Tassie Shoal LNG Terminal, so none is shown. That is an absent figure, not a zero.

Who owns Tassie Shoal LNG Terminal?

Tassie Shoal LNG Terminal is owned by Melbana Energy. Shares are as recorded in the current tracker release.

Which maritime chokepoints do cargoes from Tassie Shoal LNG Terminal pass?

Cargoes from Tassie Shoal LNG Terminal would normally pass Lombok Strait, Makassar Strait and Strait of Malacca. This is an editorial model of typical laden voyages by destination market, not vessel tracking, and any individual cargo may go another way.

What pipelines connect to Tassie Shoal LNG Terminal?

1 tracked gas pipeline passes within 25 km of Tassie Shoal LNG Terminal. Proximity is not proof of a physical connection; each match is listed with its distance.

Background on the technology and the terms used on this page.

Liquefaction trains explained
A liquefaction train is one complete, self-contained refrigeration line that chills treated natural gas until it condenses, and a large modern train produces roughly 5 to 8 million tonnes of LNG a year.
The refrigeration cycles: C3MR, DMR, AP-X and SMR
A liquefaction refrigeration cycle is the closed loop of compression, cooling and expansion that removes heat from feed gas, and the commercial processes differ mainly in how many loops they use and what refrigerant is in each.
Loading jetties and the export terminal layout
An LNG export terminal is laid out as a sequence from feed gas reception through treatment and liquefaction trains to storage and a marine loading jetty, with separation distances between blocks set by hazard analysis.
Tolling, offtake and how projects are financed
LNG project financing depends on offtake agreements committing buyers to future volumes before construction, structured either as traditional sale contracts where the seller owns and prices the gas, or as tolling agreements where the customer owns the gas and pays only a processing fee.
