Chevron Australia has produced first gas from the Gorgon Stage Two development off the northwest coast of Western Australia. In line with the original development plan for the Gorgon project, Gorgon Stage Two involved the installation of 11 additional wells in the Gorgon and Jansz-Io fields and accompanying offshore production pipelines and subsea structures to maintain feed gas supply for the gas processing facilities on Barrow Island.
Gorgon comprises a three-train, 15.6 Mt/year LNG export terminal and a domestic gas plant with the capacity to supply 300 TJ/d of gas to Western Australia. The project is operated by Chevron Australia and is a joint venture of the Australian subsidiaries of Chevron (47.3%), ExxonMobil (25%), Shell (25%), Osaka Gas (1.25%), Tokyo Gas (1%) and JERA (0.417%).
