The Wheatstone Project is one of Australia’s largest resource projects. Located at Ashburton North, 12 kilometres west of Onslow in Western Australia, the Wheatstone Project is a joint venture between Australian subsidiaries of Chevron (72.1%), Apache (13%), Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (7%), Shell (6.4%) and Kyushu Electric Wheatstone Pty Ltd (1.5%).

The foundation project will consist of two liquefied natural gas trains with a combined capacity of 8.9 million tonne per annum and a domestic gas plant.

The main contractor and BAM Clough’s client is international oil and gas service company Bechtel.

The scope of BAM Clough’s contract includes the design and construction of a 1.2 kilometre jetty with operations platform, a product loading platform with a single LNG and condensate load out berth, and associated piping modules and piping installation. At peak, the project will result in approximately 200 jobs, the majority of them in Australia.
