April 30 (Reuters) - Origin Energy ( OGFGF ) on Wednesday
logged a 10% sequential fall in revenue for the third quarter
from its stake in the Australia Pacific LNG project (APLNG) as
lower LNG volumes and falling prices bit into the top line.
Liquefied natural gas prices have remained under
pressure since the start of 2025 owing to tepid demand due to a
mild winter season in Asia, exacerbated by concerns of a global
recession post-U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies.
Origin realised $11.31 per metric million British
thermal units (mmBtu) for its LNG product from the APLNG project
in Queensland, compared with $12.20 per mmBtu in the second
quarter.
The power producer reported revenue from APLNG - a joint
venture with U.S. oil and gas major ConocoPhillips ( COP ) and
Sinopec - of A$616 million ($393.13 million) for the
three months ended March 31 compared to A$681 million posted in
the December quarter.
Its production share from the project fell 3% to 46
petajoules (PJ) from the previous quarter, with total sales
falling 7% sequentially.
