Technip Oceania (TPO), a Technip Group operating centre in Perth, Australia, has been awarded a contract, worth AUD 110 million, by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) for the detailed design of Chevron’s Wheatstone offshore gas processing platform, located 200km off Western Australia’s coast. The upstream (offshore) portion of the project is comprised of the development of gas fields in the WA-17-R and WA-253-P petroleum titles located on the Northwest Shelf offshore Western Australia at water depths of 70 to 200m. Subsea gas gathering systems will transport production to the processing platform where the gas and condensate will be treated. It will then be exported to the onshore gas plant located at Ashburton North, 12km west of Onslow, on the Pilbara coast of mainland Western Australia.
