Gorgon project could get bigger: Chevron

Chevron has said that it would like to expand its recently announced Gorgon liquefied-natural-gas project in Western Australia, but that will depend on the available reserves and completion of third production train.

"From Day One, we've always looked at a master plan that would allow us to put five trains on the island," Chevron's George Kirkland said on the sidelines of the World Gas Conference.

In addition to Chevron's operating stake of 50% in Gorgon, Exxon Mobil Corp and Royal Dutch Shell PLC each hold a 25% share.
