Chevron is the largest holder of untapped natural gas resources in Australia.
For 25 years, Chevron has been producing natural gas for domestic use with partners in the nation’s biggest operational LNG project to date, the North West Shelf Venture (NWSV). For 20 years, the NWSV has been exporting LNG to international customers in the Asia-Pacific region.
We are now developing the Gorgon Project, an LNG and domestic gas joint venture based in the Greater Gorgon gas fields off Western Australia’s Pilbara Coast, which contain more than 40 trillion cubic feet of gas, or 25 percent of Australia’s total known gas resources.
We also are developing our majority-owned and operated Wheatstone Project as an LNG and domestic gas operation near Onslow on the mainland of Western Australia.
The Browse Basin – off the coast of Western Australia – is another LNG project in which we are investing, via the Browse Joint Venture.
We also run a program to explore offshore opportunities and operate Australia’s largest onshore oil operation at Barrow Island and Thevenard Island in Australia’s north-west region.
