A final investment decision (FID) has been made on the Gorgon liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, which could interest those looking at oil and gas recruitment in the region. Royal Dutch Shells board has signalled the start of initial construction on the scheme, which is based on the Greater Gorgon gas fields. Malcolm Brinded, executive director for Shells Upstream International, claims that this is a major milestone for all involved. He states: "The project will nearly double Australias liquefied natural gas output and we expect it to be in production for decades to come." As part of the scheme, 240 kilometres of subsea pipelines will be laid to carry the output to Barrow Island. Jon Chadwick, Shells executive vice president for Australia, highlights the importance of the project to both the AsiaPacific region and the Australian domestic supply. Earlier this month, sale and purchase agreements for the project were signed by GS Caltex, Osaka Gas and Tokyo Gas, who have entered longterm, binding contracts, those looking at oil and gas recruitment may be interested to discover.
