GEOJE, South Korea – Chevron has awarded Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) a KRW 656.1-billion ($551-million) contract to build the field control station (FCS) for the Jansz-Io Compression project offshore Australia.
The FCS will be built at the Okpo Shipyard in Geoje. It is expected to be completed by 3Q 2025.
The normally unattended floating FCS will send power from shore to the subsea compression station.
The J-IC project will use subsea compression technology to maintain long-term natural gas supplies to the Gorgon LNG and domestic gas facilities on Barrow Island.
The Jansz-Io gas field is about 200 km (124 mi) offshore northwestern Australia. It is part of the wider Chevron-operated Gorgon development, which has been operational since 2016 and delivers natural gas to customers across Asia and Australia.
