TOKYO, May 31 (Reuters) -
* Japan's Inpex Corp 1605.T says it completed commissioning for production start-up at the offshore Central Processing Facility (CPF) for the Ichthys liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Australia, and added gas output would begin at an unspecified later date.
* The move marks a slight delay from the company's announcement in late March that the commissioning of CPF and production of gas would start by the end of May. But a company spokesman said there is no major change in the project launch.
* The first shipments of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), condensate and LNG would begin by the end of September, Inpex said in a statement.
