Liquefied Natural Gas 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 plans include subsea pipelines, a gas processing facility on Barrow Island consisting of three 5 million-metric-ton-per-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) trains and LNG shipping facilities to transport products to international markets.
The Gorgon Venture
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 was completed in August 2008, boosting annual LNG capacity by more than 4.2 million metric tons, to more than 16 million.

Wheatstone LNG
Chevron plans to develop a new Australian LNG project, based on its 100 percent-owned Wheatstone natural gas discovery. Design studies, site evaluation and appraisal work are currently under way for the project, which would be located on the northwest coast of mainland Australia.

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 has a 36.4 percent interest in the development. Construction on the 5.2 million-metric-ton-per-year LNG plant began in 2008. Liquefied natural gas from the project will target U.S. markets.

Olokola, Nigeria
Chevron is participating in development of the proposed Olokola LNG project, which entered front-end engineering and design in 2006 and is continuing with technical and commercial work. The project is expected to be implemented in phases. Liquefied natural gas would be marketed to the Atlantic basin.

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.

Gas-to-Liquids Projects
Escravos Gas-to-Liquids
Chevron Nigeria Ltd. and the Nigeria National Petroleum Corp. are constructing a planned 34,000-barrel-per-day gas-to-liquids (GTL) products plant in Escravos, Nigeria, to convert natural gas into clean transportation fuels. Facility construction is under way, and two GTL reactors have been delivered.
