General Manager, Gorgon Project

Chevron Australia

I agree.

Every day, small businesses across Australia help us bring energy to the world, and we, in turn, help to strengthen their communities.

Developing projects like Gorgon and Wheatstone is providing opportunities for local business and creating jobs.

Consider these facts:

  • More than 4,000 people across Australia are working on the Gorgon Project.
  • We've committed more than AU$10 billion to Australian companies with the Gorgon Project.
  • The Gorgon Project will be an important contributor to the Australian economy for more than 40 years.
  • Chevron's Australian Industry Participation Policy supports jobs for locals with both the Gorgon and Wheatstone projects.

Our record speaks for itself — and we've only just started the Gorgon Project, and Wheatstone is still in the planning phase. The best is yet to come.

Cimeco

Cimeco has been working with Chevron for more than 10 years. When we first partnered with Chevron, we employed 80 people. Today, our company has grown to 900 employees, providing services in Western Australia and West Africa.

One of the projects we've been working on is building and maintaining tanks to store water, fuel and crude oil for the Gorgon Project on Barrow Island.

Like Chevron, we have a strong commitment to safety and are committed to achieving our goal of "zero harm." We work to ensure that we operate in a safe, efficient manner and take steps to provide a safe working environment at all times.

The partnership between Chevron and Cimeco has continued to grow and strengthen during the past decade. Working in an "open and honest" way built on trust and honesty, we consider Chevron to be one of our most valued clients.

We at Cimeco value this relationship and are extremely proud of our achievements.
