Australias LNG Industry

Australia is already the worlds third largest LNG exporter
and with abundant offshore and onshore petroleum reserves
under development and close proximity to key LNG demand
centres in the Asia-Pacific, Australias role as a major player in

global LNG is burgeoning. Australia is delighted to bring the

LNG X series, once again, back to Perth.
You will be amazed at the growth since Perth last hosted this
global event in 1998.
