The Gorgon Project includes the subsea development of the Greater Gorgon natural gas fields, located about 130 kilometers off the north-west coast of Western Australia and that have water depths of 200-to-1,300 meters and lie between 65 and 134 kilometers from Barrow Island.
The fields will be linked to a three train, 15 million tons-per-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility, with provision for domestic gas production on Barrow Island. Chevron Australia of Perth is 50% owner and operator of the Gorgon Project in a joint venture with the Australian subsidiaries of ExxonMobil and Shell.
The scope of VetcoGray’s contract includes the supply of manifolds, pipeline termination structures, pipeline end terminations, trees with subsea control modules, wellheads, production control systems, system integration testing, installation and operations support.
Dave Tucker, COO of VetcoGray, said: We’re extremely pleased that Chevron has selected our technology, which has been proven in LNG applications worldwide, for this Australian development. The Gorgon Project offers a tremendous opportunity to expand our capabilities to support commercialization of the significant gas resources located offshore north of Western Australia.
