The Chevron-led owners of the Gorgon liquefied natural gas project in Australia have made a final investment decision for a phase two upstream development, writes Russell Searancke.

Phase two is centred on maintaining gas supplies from the deep-water Gorgon and Jansz-Io fields into the three-train Gorgon LNG plant on Barrow Island.

Chevron Australia managing director Nigel Hearne said Gorgon stage two is part of the original development plan for Gorgon.
