KJVG, a KBR led joint venture consisting of partners JGC Corporation, Clough Projects Australia Pty Ltd and Hatch Associates Pty Ltd Group, will execute and construct the LNG facility on Barrow Island, consisting of three five million tonne per annum (MTPA) LNG trains, gas processing and treatment facilities, product storage and offloading, complete offsites, utilities and accommodations. The EPCM contract also includes a 300TJ/d domestic gas plant. The design of the facility features improvements in greenhouse gas emissions performance including improved waste heat recovery and the provision of facilities for the injection of reservoir carbon dioxide deep into the subsurface.
“Our continued involvement with this large, modularized grassroots LNG project demonstrates KBR’s commitment to providing our customers with leading LNG project execution and allows KBR to build on its LNG expertise and experience in Australia,” said John Rose, Group President, KBR Hydrocarbons. “We are committed to Chevron and its partners and look forward to working closely with Chevron to ensure the successful execution of the Gorgon Project.”
The Gorgon project plans to develop the Greater Gorgon gas fields, located between 130 kilometers and 200 kilometers off the north-west coast of Western Australia. The Greater Gorgon gas fields contain resources of about 40 trillion cubic feet of gas. Chevron is operator of the project with a 50% interest, and Exxon Mobil Corporation and Royal Dutch Shell Plc each hold 25%.
