[Australia] Gorgon LNG

Unread post by escveritas »

Image

The Gorgon Project is one of the world’s largest natural gas projects. With total daily production averaging 2.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 15,000 barrels of condensate in 2020, the Gorgon Project will continue to be an important pillar of the Australian economy for decades to come. Unlocking this energy puts Australia in a prime position to meet future demand and provide a clean-burning fuel, both at home and overseas.

Gorgon is a story of energy and the environment as well as technology and expertise. Based on Barrow Island, the Gorgon Project includes a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility with three processing units designed to produce 15.6 million metric tons of LNG per year. This includes a domestic natural gas plant.

Most of Chevron's LNG production from Australia is committed under binding long-term agreements with major utilities in Asia, with the remainder sold on the Asian spot LNG market. Safe and reliable deliveries of LNG cargos helps meet our customer’s growing needs for power.

Gorgon graduates to stage two

July 2018

Chevron Australia and its joint venture participants announced a decision to proceed with future offshore development at the Chevron-led Gorgon natural gas facility off the northwest coast of Western Australia.

Chevron Australia managing director Nigel Hearne said Gorgon stage two is part of the original development plan for Gorgon and includes the expansion of the subsea gas gathering network required to maintain long-term natural gas supply to the 15.6 million tonne per annum (MTPA) LNG plant and domestic gas plant on Barrow Island.

“Our world-class natural gas facilities have transformed Chevron into a leading and reliable supplier of cleaner-burning natural gas to customers in the region. Through ongoing collaboration, we need to invest in both the infrastructure and the local skills and capability required to maintain our long-term energy position and contribute to the jobs of the future,” said Hearne.

This planned future development phase at the Gorgon natural gas facility involves new wells in the Gorgon and Jansz-Io fields, and accompanying offshore production pipelines and subsea structures. The development fits within Chevron’s previously announced annual investment range of $18 to 20 billion through 2020.

“Benefits are expected to flow through to Australian industry, arising from local project management, drilling and completion activities and subsea infrastructure installation,” Hearne added.

Jansz-Io Compression Project to Proceed

Image

Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Chevron Australia Pty Ltd. (Chevron Australia) as operator and the Gorgon joint venture participants will proceed with the approximately $4 billion (AU$6 billion) Jansz-Io Compression (J-IC) project.

Nigel Hearne, Chevron Eurasia Pacific Exploration and Production president, said J-IC represents Chevron’s most significant capital investment in Australia since the sanctioning of the Gorgon Stage 2 project in 2018.

“Using world-leading subsea compression technology, J-IC is positioned to maintain gas supply from the Jansz-Io field to the three existing LNG trains and domestic gas plant on Barrow Island,” Hearne said.

“This will maintain an important source of clean-burning natural gas to customers that will enable energy transitions in countries across the Asia Pacific region.”

A modification of the existing Gorgon development, J-IC will involve the construction and installation of a 27,000-tonne normally unattended floating Field Control Station (FCS), approximately 6,500 tonnes of subsea compression infrastructure and a 135km submarine power cable linked to Barrow Island.

Construction and installation activities are estimated to take approximately five years to complete.

J-IC follows the Gorgon Stage 2 project, which is nearing completion of the installation phase, to supply gas to the Gorgon plant from four new Jansz-Io and seven new Gorgon wells.

Full steam ahead for $6 billion compression project at Gorgon

The voice of the oil and gas industry said today’s Final Investment Decision (FID) on the approximately AUD$6 billion Jansz-Io (J-lC) compression project at Gorgon means affordable, reliable and cleaner energy for customers in Western Australia and across the Asia-Pacific region for years to come.

APPEA Chief Executive Andrew McConville said Chevron and the Gorgon joint venture participants will use world leading subsea compression technology to enhance the recoverability of the Jansz-Io field to maintain long-term natural gas supply to the LNG and domestic gas plants on Barrow Island.

“This is great news for the Western Australian economy, Western Australian gas users, local job seekers and the environment,” Mr McConville said.

“For the approximately $6 billion FID to be reached shows the confidence in our industry, the hundreds of thousands of jobs we support both directly and indirectly and how we have a large role to play in a cleaner energy future.

“The announcement guarantees long-term, reliable operations, ensuring Gorgon continues to deliver vital natural gas supplies to customers in Western Australia and Asia for decades to come.”

APPEA Western Australia Director Claire Wilkinson said the project is expected to provide meaningful contracting opportunities for Australian businesses.

“J-IC represents the largest capital investment made by Chevron in Australia since the Gorgon Stage 2 (GS2) Project – currently underway– was sanctioned in 2018,” Ms Wilkinson said.

“It’s expected there will be more than 350 jobs during the construction phase including opportunities for local engineering, onshore construction and offshore installation work, plus longer term contracting and employment opportunities in operations and maintenance.

Key facts on the $6 billion project:
  • Offshore installation work associated with J-IC will include approximately 6,500 tonnes of subsea structures.
  • Power for the subsea J-IC infrastructure will be distributed via a 27,000-tonne floating platform (Field Control Station) that will be tied to the seabed by 12 mooring lines and will normally be unattended.
  • Onshore at Barrow Island there will be 14 kilometres of land cable along an existing infrastructure corridor, connected to a 135-kilometre submarine power cable to the Field Control Station.
  • Construction and installation activities are estimated to take approximately five years.
  • J-IC follows the Gorgon Stage 2 (GS2) project, which will deliver gas to the Gorgon plant from four new Jansz-Io and seven new Gorgon wells when completed in 2022.
  • The Chevron-operated Gorgon Project is a joint venture between the Australian subsidiaries of Chevron (47.3 percent), ExxonMobil (25 percent), Shell (25 percent), Osaka Gas (1.25 percent), Tokyo Gas (1 percent) and JERA (0.417 percent).
