Chevron Australia, a unit of US energy giant Chevron, and its partners recently took a final investment decision to develop backfill fields to maintain natural gas supply to the giant Gorgon LNG facility on Barrow Island, Western Australia.
The A$3 billion ($1.95 billion) backfill development, or Gorgon Stage 3, will connect the offshore Geryon and Eurytion natural gas fields in the Greater Gorgon Area to Gorgon’s existing subsea gas gathering infrastructure and processing facilities on Barrow Island.
Launched in 2016, the Gorgon LNG plant has three trains and a production capacity of about 15.6 mtpa.
The project is a joint venture of Chevron (47.3 percent), ExxonMobil (25 percent), Shell (25 percent), Osaka Gas (1.25 percent), MidOcean Energy (1 percent), and Jera (0.417 percent).
The first stage of Gorgon was the Gorgon foundation project (GFP), which included constructing the Gorgon gas treatment plant (GTP) and domestic gas plant on Barrow Island and developing the Gorgon and Jansz–Io offshore gas fields.
