Chevron has told investors Gorgon is on track and will start production in the middle of 2015.
"We want to reiterate the project is on track and we are on target for a mid-2015 start up,’’ CFO Pat Yarrington told investors.
Ms Yarrington said 20 of the 21 “critical process modules” for the
first of two trains (production facilities) were in place, along with
common facilities at Gorgon’s Barrow Island base.
“The remaining train will arrive shortly and it really becomes a process of hooking up and commissioning,’’ Ms Yarrington said.

Petronet expects LNG from Gorgon in 2015-16
Petronet LNG Ltd (PLL) today informed that the supplies of liquefied
natural gas (LNG) from the Australian Gorgon LNG Project will begin from
2015-16.
The company had signed a 20-year long term sales and purchase agreement
(SPA) with an Australian subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation in August
2009 to purchase approximately 1.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of
LNG from the Gorgon LNG Project.
“As per the update given by Exxon Mobil team the project is progressing
on schedule and they are about 65% through. In the November-December
this year, they may begin operations. So we can expect that by 2015-16,
we will be able to get our first supplies from there to our Kochi
terminal,” said A K Balyan, MD & CEO, Petronet LNG Ltd.
“We have already ordered for construction of a fourth ship that would
carry the LNG from Australia to India. It is the same consortium which
is doing our transportation from Qatar and Shipping Corporation of India
would be operating it,” he said.

Gorgon Gas Project Expansion Approved
A proposal to expand the Gorgon gas project on Barrow Island in Western Australia has been approved by WA's environmental watchdog. The Environmental Protection Authority said yesterday it was satisfied
that increasing Chevron's footprint on the island from 300ha to 332ha
was ecologically acceptable provided it met certain conditions. The authority has recommended Chevron offset the impact to the area by
extending a program to transfer and reintroduce threatened species for a
further two years.

Chevron doubtful about fourth train for Gorgon gas project
Chevron's Chief Financial Officer has casts doubts on the fourth train expansion of the Gorgon gas project. Patricia E. Yarrington said that the cost structure is different today than it was in 2009 when the first
three trains were taken to final investment decision. She said the cost
structure has “elevated” and that has put at risk some of Australia’s
global competitiveness.
“From a Chevron standpoint, we are going to look at Train 4 and assess it under those new conditions and look at it relative to other opportunities in our portfolio. Obviously Gorgon Train 4 has certain brownfield advantages, but we need to take those advantages, lay in the new macro-conditions that we see in Australia, and take a look at the whole portfolio activity,” she said.
For existing construction work, Gorgon is 70% complete with 14 of the 21 LNG Train 1 process modules installed, three more in transit, and the remainder scheduled to follow rapidly.

Crackdown on foreign workers at Gorgon gas project
The Federal Government has moved to close a loophole allowing cheaper
foreign workers on Chevron's $43 billion Gorgon project, cheering the
union movement but sparking fresh concerns about rising costs on
Australia's major resource projects.
Immigration Minister Chris Bowen said yesterday it would seek to change the Migration Act's application to offshore resource industry workers in light of its defeat in the so-called Allseas case.
Swiss-based offshore pipe-laying contractor Allseas became an IR lightning rod last year when it successfully used Tampa-era migration laws designed to stop boat people to see off a Federal Court challenge by the Gillard Government.
Federal Court Justice Neil McKerracher said at the time he was satisfied the ships operated by Allseas were not "resources installations" as defined in the Migration Act, in a case that spun on whether pipes laid by Allseas touched the seabed, and thus whether crew should be employed under Australian awards.
Allseas has since won further work on Chevron's $29 billion Wheatstone venture, prompting unions to demand changes to laws. The Government decided against appealing against the case and Mr Bowen said he was trying to strike a balance.

Gorgon gas project to help Australia be global no. 2 LNG supplier by 2015
Australia is on course to be the second largest LNG supplier in the world by 2015. Projects such as the Gorgon gas project and Wheatstone gas project should help Australia close in on the number 2 position by the middle of the decade.
"So far in 2011, final investment decisions were reached for four Australian LNG projects," Tania Constable, head of the resources division of the Department of Resources, Energy & Tourism said.
It is believed that Australia could even overtake Qatar as the number 1 LNG supplier in the world by 2020.

Union says illegal workers on Gorgon gas project
The Maritime Union claims a number of illegal immigrants are working on the Gorgon gas project.
The union claims that a sub-contractor of Chevron is employing crane operators and deck hands on tourist visas and paying them below award wages.
"It's just a cheap grab for labour, cheap labour that it is on these multi-multi-billion dollar projects, it's a joke" said MUA Deputy National Secretary Mick Dolman.
