ExxonMobil restarts quake-hit PNG LNG ops ahead of schedule

The Papua New Guinea liquefied natural gas (PNG LNG) project has restarted production ahead of schedule, following the 7.5 magnitude earthquake in the country’s highlands in February. Project operator ExxonMobil reported on Friday that one train was currently operating at the LNG plant near Port Morseby, with the second train expected to restart as production was increased over time.
