Wheatstone Project

The Wheatstone Project is one of Australia’s largest resource developments. At full capacity, the Wheatstone Project’s two train LNG facility will supply 8.9 million metric tons per year of LNG for export to customers in Asia. The LNG facility is located 12 km west of Onslow and processes natural gas from the Chevron-operated Wheatstone and Iago fields.
