First Gas Produced at Gorgon Stage 2 in Western Australia
Chevron said on Tuesday it has begun gas production from its Gorgon Stage 2 development project off the coast of Western Australia.
The development expands the Gorgon project’s existing subsea gas gathering network, which exports LNG to customers across Asia and produces gas for the Western Australian domestic market, Chevron said in a statement. The Gorgon Project is located off Barrow Island, approximately 37 miles (60 km) off the northwest coast of Western Australia.
The statement added that the development of Gorgon Stage 2 included the installation of 11 additional wells in the Gorgon and Jansz-Io fields, as well as associated offshore production pipelines and subsea facilities to provide feed gas to the project’s gas processing plants on Barrow Island.
Chevron is a 47% owner and operator of the Gorgon LNG project. Also shareholders of Gorgon LNG are Exxon Mobil Corp, Shell and Japanese energy companies Osaka Gas, Tokyo Gas and JERA.
