The Gorgon Project is being pursued by the Australian subsidiaries of three leading international energy companies: Chevron, ExxonMobil and Shell. Chevron is operator of the Project with a 50% interest, with ExxonMobil and Shell each holding 25%. Chevron Australia is also the operator of the existing Barrow Island oil operation. The Gorgon Project is based on: · Development of the Greater Gorgon gas fields involving subsea pipelines to Barrow Island · A gas processing facility on Barrow Island consisting of two, 5 million tonne per annum LNG trains · LNG shipping facilities to transport products to international markets · Assessment of a domestic gas plant and pipeline to deliver gas to the mainland · Greenhouse gas management via reinjection of carbon dioxide into deep formations beneath Barrow Island. The Gorgon Venture has undertaken a competitive tender process for the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) and Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) contracts for the Upstream and Downstream packages of work for the Greater Gorgon Development.
