Project Profile

Location: Crib Point, Victoria, Australia
Value: US$250 million
Capacity: 2.6 million tonnes
Construction start-up: 2019
Operation start-up: 2021
Crib Point LNG Terminal is a proposed LNG import terminal off the coast of Victoria, Australia. AGL has proposed a US$250 million LNG import terminal in Australia, nominating Crib Point as its preferred location. The gas would be transported on liquified natural gas (LNG) ships from interstate and overseas, transferred to another ship and converted from liquid form back into gas on that ship and then piped into the existing transportation network. The floating storage and regassification unit (FSRU,) capable of handling about 2.6 million tonnes of LNG, would be moored at the existing jetty at Crib Point. 
The gas import jetty would be connected by pipeline to an existing gas pipeline in Packenham – the exact length of this pipeline will depend on the route between the jetty and the transmission pipeline but we anticipate that the new pipeline will be approximately 55kms long. The pipeline will be bi-directional allowing gas flow from Pakenham and will be built with valves along the route to facilitate future gas supply to communities. We will also need some plant and equipment for processes such as metering and odorisation to be installed onshore at the jetty.
The gas import jetty purports to increase gas supply for south-eastern Australia. It plans for construction in 2019 and operation by 2021. This would involve the redevelopment of an existing jetty to import 100 petajoules a year of LNG, enough to supply all the residential demand for the state of Victoria.
