Downer wins contract for Chevron’s Wheatstone and Gorgon facilities

Australia's Downer EDI has secured a new contract to provide maintenance and support services at Chevron Australia's Wheatstone and Gorgon LNG facilities in Western Australia.

Under the contract, which commences in January 2026, Downer will deliver maintenance, asset management, and execution of small capital projects for Chevron’s non-process infrastructure assets, Downer said on Tuesday.

The contract commences in January 2026, with an initial term of 10 years plus one five-year extension option.

Downer estimates the total revenue over the full 15-year term to be A$750 million ($488.7 million), subject to the release of work orders by Chevron.

The Australian firm noted that this contract builds on a long-standing relationship with Chevron.

Earlier this year, the Chevron-operated Wheatstone LNG plant in Western Australia shipped its 1000th cargo of LNG since 2017.

Wheatstone’s onshore facilities are located 12 kilometres west of Onslow on the Pilbara coast of Western Australia.

The foundation project consists of two LNG trains with a combined capacity of 8.9 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), and a domestic gas plant.

Launched in 2016, the Gorgon LNG plant features three trains and a production capacity of approximately 15.6 mtpa.

The first stage of Gorgon was the Gorgon foundation project, which included constructing the Gorgon gas treatment plant and domestic gas plant on Barrow Island and developing the Gorgon and Jansz–Io offshore gas fields.
