 Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - ChevronTexaco and Shell boost production at Gorgon gas field
Under a stage-two expansion, ChevronTexaco plans to double the size of the Barrow Island LNG plant to 10 mm tpy and pump around 300 TeraJoules of gas to the Western Australian mainland.
Without Barrow Island, Gorgon is just too expensive to develop, partly because the Gorgon gas is "dry" gas, lacking the associated gas liquids that other projects produce and sell as gas condensate.
The island is situated off Australia's northwest, roughly half way between the mainland and the Gorgon field, which lies some 130 km offshore.
