Scheduled maintenance activity notice

Planned maintenance campaigns are important in maintaining safe, reliable, and efficient operating facilities.

This information is supplied pursuant to Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) authorisation numbers AA 1000396-1 and AA 1000396-2.

INPEX Australia provides this maintenance information on the basis that it is:

• provided in good faith and published as a condition of the authorisation granted by the ACCC

• based on INPEX Australia’s reasonable expectation and subject to change.

Planned maintenance

At Ichthys LNG, we service key pieces of infrastructure during planned maintenance campaigns. In order to safely carry out this work, we intentionally shut down equipment and divert the flow of product to our flaring systems, while taking equipment offline.

INPEX will inform the community ahead of planned maintenance campaigns throughout the operating life of the facility.

Unplanned production stoppages

On occasion, an unplanned shutdown or ‘trip’ may occur. During these events, we divert the flow of product from the processing train to the ground flare system while we identify the cause and get the processing train back up and running. Once we reach stable production, flaring will be kept to a minimum and unplanned shutdown events are expected occur rarely.
