Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Supply Projects
Gorgon, Australia
Chevron is leading the development of the world-class gas resources in the Greater Gorgon Area, off the northwest coast of Australia. The project is expected to include a subsea pipeline to a new natural gas processing and LNG liquefaction plant. Chevron has signed Heads of Agreements with three Japanese companies for the sale of a combined total of 4.2 million metric tons per year.
The Gorgon Venture
North West Shelf Venture
Chevron owns a one-sixth interest in the North West Shelf Venture, which supplies liquefied natural gas to Japan, South Korea and China, as well as natural gas to the Western Australia domestic market. A fifth LNG train is under construction and is expected to boost annual LNG capacity by more than 4 million tons to more than 16 million tons.

Angola LNG Project
This project, co-led by Chevron and Sonangol, the state oil company of Angola, is designed to develop and commercialize Angola's natural gas resources while at the same time reducing gas flaring. Gas would be transported by pipeline from offshore production facilities to a proposed onshore liquefaction plant in northern Angola. As of early 2007, project participants were finalizing the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning contract for the LNG plant.

Olokola, Nigeria
Chevron is participating in development of the proposed Olokola LNG liquefaction plant, which is engaged in front-end engineering and design. The plant would be a phased development of four liquefaction trains with a total capacity of, 22 million metric tons per year.

Delta Caribe, Venezuela (Formerly Plataforma Deltana)
Chevron has begun an exploration program in the northeastern Plataforma Deltana, off the coast of Venezuela. Significant amounts of natural gas have been encountered at Delta Caribe. These resources pave the way for a detailed evaluation of Venezuela's first liquefaction facility that would export gas to the United States.
LNG Import and Regasification Projects
Sabine Pass LNG Terminal
Chevron has a 20-year terminal use agreement beginning in 2009 for 1.0 billion cubic feet per day of reserved capacity at Cheniere Energy's Sabine Pass natural gas receiving facility under construction in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.

Casotte Landing
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has approved plans for Chevron's proposed Casotte Landing natural gas receiving facility adjacent to the company's Pascagoula refinery along Bayou Casotte, Mississippi. The terminal would have LNG capacity to deliver 1.3 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. A decision to construct the facility will be timed to align with the company's LNG supply projects.
Gas to Liquids (GTL) Projects
EGTL
Chevron Nigeria Ltd. and the Nigeria National Petroleum Corp. are constructing a 34,000-barrel-per-day GTL products plant in Escravos, Nigeria, to convert natural gas into clean transportation fuels. Site preparation is under way and module construction is advancing. Sasol Chevron is providing marketing, management and technical services for the project.
