Maximising value in mega-projects: Ichthys LNG project

Abstract

The INPEX-led Ichthys LNG Project is one of the world's most complex gas developments, incorporating all elements of the production chain. It is three mega projects rolled into one. The offshore project includes the world’s largest semisubmersible central processing facility and a large floating production, storage and offloading facility. An 890 km subsea gas export pipeline joins offshore facilities to a state-of-the-art onshore processing plant near Darwin. Managing more than 30,000 personnel working across the globe to construct this project demands excellence in project management. INPEX’s approach allows seamless interface management and a tight grip on cost and schedule to deliver a complicated, giant project, and 40 years of future field operations.
