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.
