We produce natural gas to supply the Australian domestic market and for export as LNG via our two-train LNG liquefaction plant on Curtis Island in Queensland. QGC produces natural gas from the Surat Basin of southern Queensland and supplies domestic and international markets.
QGC
The Shell-operated QGC venture is located in Queensland in Eastern Australia. We are one of Australia’s leading natural gas producers, focused on developing Queensland’s world-class onshore gas reserves.

A new year and a new-look for Shell’s QGC business
The three blue letters, QGC, are a familiar sight around the Western Downs. Soon this will start to look a bit different. From now on, you’ll increasingly see the iconic yellow and red Shell logo sitting side by side with the blue QGC lettering on our new uniforms, on our cars, around our buildings and on QGC’s Facebook page.
