Background

The Gorgon and Jansz Feed Gas Pipeline is owned and operated by Chevron. The pipeline gathers gas from the Greater Gorgon gas fields and delivers it to the Barrow Island LNG Facility. 'Greater Gorgon' refers to a grouping of several gas fields, including Gorgon, Chandon, Geryon, Orthrus, Maenad, Eurytion, Urania, Chrysaor, Dionysus, Jansz-Io, and West Tryal Rocks, situated in the Barrow sub-basin of the Carnarvon Basin. The Gorgon field is centered about 130 km off the northwest coast of Western Australia, where the water depth is approximately 200 m (120 ft.).

The Gorgon and Jansz-Io gas fields are estimated to contain 35.3 trillion cubic feet (990 billion cubic meters) of natural gas and may have a lifespan of 60 years.
