Description
- The Greater Gorgon gas fields, which include the Jansz-Io Gas Field are Australia's largest-known gas resource, containing about 40 trillion cubic feet of gas.
- The field development plans centre on the use of subsea completions tied-back to the onshore LNG plant via a system of pipelines and control umbilicals enabling development without producing platforms
- The gas is to be used to feed the giant Gorgon LNG Terminal
