An attractive industry destination

Australia is a major exporter of LNG with considerable potential for further development based on its abundant resources of natural gas. Australia is the third largest LNG producer in the Asia-Pacific region and the sixth largest LNG producer in the world, exporting 15.2 million tonnes in 2006-07 with a value of around $5.2 billion. The potential is there for significant new project investment over the next 10 years, providing major, long-term revenue benefits.

With more than 10,000 hotel rooms in the greater metropolitan area, Perth is an ideal venue for this international event and offers an attractive opportunity to extend your trip and explore the delights that Western Australia holds.

“The Australian LNG and natural gas industry has built steadily over time and is now in a position where it will see a great deal of growth in the coming years. Exploration and production in Australia is carried out by many familiar national and international companies including Woodside Energy Santos, BHP Billiton, BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, OMV, Origin Energy and Shell. With more and more international companies taking the option to become shareholders in Australian projects, this is indeed a prime opportunity to start building or to cement relationships. The Global Gas Trading & Technology conference and exhibition will provide exhibitors, delegates and visitors with this opportunity to meet and network with the most prominent figures from the industry”. Nigel Garrard, Sales Director, VNT Events.
