Worley, an Australian-based offshore construction company, has won a contract from Chevron Australia Pty to support the Jansz-Io compression (J-IC) project offshore Western Australia.
Under the terms of the contract, Worley will provide detailed engineering, design and construction management services for the J-IC project’s power transmission and communication components.
This agreement follows Worley’s completion of the project’s pre-FEED and FEED phases. The services will be co-ordinated by Worley’s Perth office with support from the company’s global integrated delivery team.
As part of the original development plan for the Chevron-operated Gorgon project, J-IC will use subsea compression technology to maintain long-term natural gas supply from the Jansz-Io field to the three existing LNG trains and domestic gas plant on Barrow Island.
The Jansz-Io gas field is located around 200 km offshore the northwestern coast of Western Australia and supplies the Gorgon facility on Barrow Island.
Gorgon is a joint venture between the Australian subsidiaries of Chevron 47.3%, ExxonMobil 25%, Shell 25%, Osaka Gas 1.25%, Tokyo Gas 1% and JERA 0.417%.
