Name of the Project
Gorgon natural gas facility – Jansz-Io compression project.

Location
The project is located off the north-west coast of Western Australia.

Project Owner/s
Chevron Australia.

The Chevron-operated Gorgon project is a joint venture (JV) between the Australian subsidiaries of Chevron (47.3%), ExxonMobil (25%), Shell (25%), Osaka Gas (1.25%), Tokyo Gas (1%) and JERA (0.417%).

Project Description
The Jansz-Io compression project is part of the original development plan for Gorgon. Gorgon has a total production capacity of about 2.6-billion cubic feet of natural gas and 20 000 bbl/d of condensate.

The compression project will use subsea compression to enhance recovery of the Jansz-Io field to maintain long-term natural gas supply to the 15.6-million-tonne-a-year liquefied natural gas and domestic gas plants on Barrow Island.

Jansz-Io compression will also include local front-end engineering design (FEED) work, including all onshore components, and further potential opportunities for engineering, project management, fabrication, onshore construction, subsea installation and support once the project is sanctioned.
