US supermajor Chevron is preparing to engage with engineering houses keen to be involved in the next development phase of the Jansz-Io compression project off Western Australia.

The project will entail building a large semi-submersible gas compression platform with a topsides design weighing up to 20,000 tonnes.

A conceptual design phase is ongoing, with WorleyParsons focused on the topsides and Aker Solutions the hull design.
