The Shire of Ashburton congratulates Chevron and its joint venture partners on commencing Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) production from the second train at the Wheatstone Project today.
Located 12 kilometres west of Onslow, the Chevron-operated Wheatstone Project is one of Australia’s largest resource developments.
Shire President Kerry White says that LNG production from the project’s second train is another major milestone worth celebrating.
“Having the project now fully operational is a great achievement for Chevron and for Onslow,” said Cr White. “With new families now living in town and many new and improved facilities, the Onslow community is flourishing.”
Since construction commenced in 2011 the Chevron-operated Wheatstone Project has played a key role in developing the new airport, hospital, aquatic centre, Shire complex, power station, wastewater management and numerous town-centre improvements.
As part of their ‘Working Together for Onslow’ partnership with the Shire of Ashburton, Chevron have also invested in the well-being of the community with a comprehensive program of engagement and educational initiatives.
The Shire of Ashburton congratulates Chevron on achieving this significant milestone and looks forward to continuing the community partnership.
