ASX-listed Santos Ltd announced on Thursday that GLNG train-2 has started producing liquefied natural gas (LNG) on Curtis Island, Queensland.

Previously, the company started its first LNG production from train-1 in September 2015 and GLNG?s first LNG export cargo in October 2015.

Santos Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Kevin Gallagher said first LNG from train-2 was another milestone for GLNG and marked the successful delivery of the two-train project, which has already produced over two million tons of LNG and shipped 32 cargoes.

?GLNG train-2 start-up adds to Santos? LNG portfolio, which also includes the Darwin LNG and PNG LNG projects,? Gallagher said.

Santos as the operator has a 30 percent interest in GLNG. Other co-venturers are Petronas (27.5 percent), Total (27.5 percent) and KOGAS (15 percent).
