QGC, operating under the slogan "Exploration and production of natural gas from coal seams in Queensland for domestic and international markets", is an integral part of Shell's energy portfolio since its acquisition in 2016. This energy-focused entity capitalizes on rich resources in the Surat Basin, southern Queensland, producing natural gas to meet the rising demands of both the Australian domestic scene and international markets via liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.
Founded in 2014, QGC has solidified its presence within the Energy, Industrial, and Oil and Gas sectors. The firm leverages infrastructure that includes a two-train LNG liquefaction plant located strategically on Curtis Island. Notably, the last major financial infusion occurred on 01 December 2020, with a substantial $2.50B growth equity investment led by Global Infrastructure Partners.
Headquartered in Australia, QGC continues to play a significant role in the region's economic vitality by contributing to energy security and export revenue.
