As part of its member engagement activities, staff from PNG Chamber of Resources and Energy (PNG CORE) recently took part in a stakeholder engagement, hosted by ExxonMobil PNG (EMPNG).

This advocacy session, facilitated by EMPNG’s Government Affairs team, provided PNG CORE staff with an appreciation of work done by the PNG LNG Project operator, particularly through their external affairs and stakeholder engagement.

PNG CORE Chief operating officer Pansy Taueni-Sialis said it was an informative session which provided insights on what happens in the PNG LNG Project especially around benefit sharing agreements, licenses, ongoing trade and investment relations, landowner benefits and the overall operations of the project.

“As the leading industry body for the mineral, petroleum, and energy sectors, it is crucial for the PNG CORE team to understand the intricacies of project operations to provide relevant support, particularly in advocacy and representation on behalf of our members at various levels. We are grateful for the opportunity for our team to attend this workshop.”

PNG CORE Graduate Trainee Henrietta Daniel said the workshop significantly clarified the operational structure of the LNG pipeline, detailing the roles and responsibilities across the entire system - from drilling and operations at the Hides Gas Conditioning Plant (HGCP) to the processing facility at Caution Bay, outside Port Moresby.

“My primary interest lies in LNG processing, from inception to shipment, and the workshop's detailed breakdown of these processes was particularly enlightening. I gained valuable and firsthand insights into the PNGLNG project’s future expansion plans, including the integration of the Papua LNG Project to the existing plant and the transition towards greener practices with e-trains.”

“I am grateful for the opportunity to receive this firsthand information, which will go long way in assisting me in my role with PNG CORE in providing awareness to our membership across the resources sector.”
