A floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel installed at the Barossa gas field in Australia.
SK Innovation E&S will make its first domestic import of condensate produced from Australia's Barossa gas field, the company announced on July 27.
​The initial shipment of 300,000 barrels is scheduled to arrive at Incheon Port in early August.
​Condensate is a light liquid hydrocarbon extracted alongside natural gas. Rich in naphtha compared with conventional crude oil, it serves as a crucial feedstock for refining and petrochemical production.
​The imported cargo will be processed at dedicated condensate facilities operated by SK Incheon Petrochem Co., Ltd. Naphtha extracted during refining will be used to produce paraxylene (PX), gasoline, and jet fuel. By directly processing condensate, SK Incheon Petrochem expects to diversify its feedstock sources while reducing exposure to Middle Eastern price volatility and shipping costs.
​Located offshore northwestern Australia, the Barossa gas field yields approximately 3 million barrels of condensate annually. SK Innovation E&S secured about 1.1 million barrels per year through its 37.5% equity stake, with 300,000 barrels designated for this initial domestic delivery.
​The company has also been supplying liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Barossa field to South Korea since earlier this year. Annual imports stand at 1.3 million metric tons, representing roughly 3% of South Korea's total LNG imports.
​Santos operates the Barossa project with a 50% stake, alongside SK Innovation E&S (37.5%) and Japan's JERA (12.5%). SK Innovation E&S joined the venture in 2012, completing resource appraisal, regulatory approvals, and production facility construction over a 14-year development cycle. Over the 20-year contract period, the company has secured a total of 22 million barrels of condensate and 26 million metric tons of LNG.
​Through international exploration and production operations, parent company SK Innovation holds crude oil and natural gas interests across 11 countries, maintaining an annual portfolio of about 20 million barrels of oil and gas and 6 million metric tons of LNG.
