Santos starts second GLNG production train

Oil and gas producer Santos has started the second production train at its giant GLNG project in Queensland.

Energy giant Santos has started production from the second train of its GLNG liquefied natural gas project on Queensland's Curtis Island.

The oil and gas producer initially started production at the project in September 2015, and shipped its first cargo from the $18.5 billion project a month later. So far, it has produced more than two million tonnes of LNG from the project and shipped 32 cargoes.

The LNG production from train 2 marked the successful delivery of the two-train GLNG project, chief executive Kevin Gallagher said in a statement on Thursday.

Santos is the operator and holds a 30 per cent stake in GLNG. Malaysia's Petronas, France's Total and South Korean KOGAS are the other project investors.
