Video shows the progress on the Wheatstone Project, one of Australia’s largest resource developments as it represents Australia’s first natural gas infrastructure hub that has attracted third-party natural gas. This unique project is a game changer for the industry, enabling the future development of Chevron’s vast natural gas resources as well as third-party natural gas located offshore Western Australia.
The project has awarded billions of dollars in contracts for materials and services, including many contracts awarded to Australian companies. It will have an onshore facility located at the Ashburton North Strategic Industrial Area, 7.4 miles (12 km) west of Onslow in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.
The foundation project includes two liquefied natural gas (LNG) trains with a combined capacity of 8.9 million metric tons per annum and a domestic gas plant. In conjunction with the Gorgon Project, it reinforces our position as a leading natural gas supplier and LNG operator in the Asia-Pacific region.
First LNG cargo is anticipated by mid-2017.
