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.

For more information about flaring, please see below videos:

INPEX is committed to recognising and respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples whose cultures have existed in Australia for more than 65,000 years.

In particular, we acknowledge the Larrakia people as the recognised Traditional Owners of the land and waters where Ichthys LNG onshore facilities are located, in addition to the Whadjuk Nyoongar people on whose lands our Perth office is situated. Furthermore, Broome and Djarindjin are important logistical locations for transit of our offshore workforce, and we therefore extend our acknowledgement to the Yawuru, Bardi and Jawi peoples, respectively.

INPEX acknowledges the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to play in the development of our business in Australia and pay our respects to their Elders – past and present.
