Chevron is in negotiations with potential customers seeking supply from its Wheatstone LNG project in Australia, The Sydney Morning Herald reported, citing Brian Smith, General Manager of the Wheatstone Project.
“ Discussions are ongoing with a number of customers ,” he said.
“ At the moment were over 60 per cent of the gas sold and I think we’re certainly looking to get over 80 per cent ,” he added.
Wheatstone is one of Australia’s largest resource projects and Chevron is the operator of the project with an approximate 73 percent interest in the project.
Gas will be processed at an onshore facility located at Ashburton North, 12km west of Onslow in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.
The foundation project will include two LNG trains with a combined capacity of 8.9 million tonnes per year and a domestic gas plant.
