Origin Energy Limited (Origin) confirms that the LNG vessel that had lost power and was unable to leave the Australia Pacific LNG facility has now departed.

Downstream operator of Australia Pacific LNG, ConocoPhillips, is now working to return the LNG facility to normal operations which will allow cargoes to recommence loading overnight.
Origin, as upstream operator, will commence ramping up production to return the flow of gas to the LNG facility to normal levels.
