The production of LNG in Papua New Guinea is carried out by PNG LNG , which itself is operated by ExxonMobil PNG limited . The $ 19bn project is an integrated development that is responsible for commercialising the LNG resources of Papua New Guinea and has both onshore and offshore pipelines and liquefaction facilities . As of March 2018 , LNG production is set to stop for up to six weeks due to an earthquake in the country ’ s remote highlands region . PNG LNG also prides itself on investing back in to the local community and aiding in further development of one of the least developed countries in the world .
