Workshop Equipment Building

Summary and scope

The Chevron Australia-operated Gorgon Project is one of the world's largest natural gas projects and the largest single resource development in Australia's history. The Gorgon LNG and domestic gas plants on Barrow Island (BWI) are supplied by gas from the offshore Gorgon and Jansz-Io fields. The Jansz-Io Compression (J-IC) Project will use proven subsea compression technology to enhance the recoverability of the Jansz-Io field to maintain long-term natural gas supply to the gas processing facilities on BWI. Part of the original development plan for Gorgon, the J-IC Project involves the modification of the existing subsea gas gathering network in the Jansz-Io field.The subsea compression concept involves the provision of power from BWI to a floating field control station, which will host equipment to supply power and control to the electrically driven subsea compressors.Hanwha Ocean Co.,Ltd. (previously called Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering) has been awarded a contract for the engineering, procurement, construction, and transportation of the Field Control Station (FCS) for the J-IC Project. The FCS will be built at the Okpo Shipyard in Geoje, South Korea.
