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 proposal includes subsea pipelines, a gas processing facility on Barrow Island consisting of three, 5 million metric ton per annum liquefied natural gas (LNG) trains and LNG shipping facilities to transport products to international markets.

North West Shelf Venture
Chevron owns a 16.7 percent nonoperated, working interest in the North West Shelf Venture, which supplies LNG to Japan, South Korea and China and 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 metric tons, to more than 16 million.

Angola LNG Project
The Angola LNG project is an integrated natural gas utilization project encompassing offshore and onshore operations to commercialize natural gas resources. Chevron, which has a 36.4 percent interest, and the other project investors made a final investment decision at the end of 2007 to move the project forward into construction. LNG from the project will target U.S. markets.

Plataforma Deltana, Venezuela
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 in Blocks 2 and 3, in which Chevron has a 60 percent and 100 percent interest, respectively. These resources pave the way for a detailed evaluation of Venezuela’s first liquefaction facility, which would export gas to the United States.
