The company said it now has full control of both LNG trains and associated facilities at QCLNG.
It expects the integrated project to reach plateau production by mid-2016, producing enough LNG to load around ten vessels per month combined, which is equivalent to exporting around 8m tonnes a year. Since starting production in December 2014, 71 cargoes have been shipped.
The partners in Train 2 are BG Group, which has a 97.5% interest, and Tokyo Gas.
Chief executive Helge Lund said: "With both trains now fully operational, QCLNG adds significant volumes and flexibility to our LNG shipping and marketing portfolio."
At 0820 GMT, BG shares were up 0.8% to 1,010.50p.
