Field Control Station Offshore Platform (Jansz-Io Compression)
Project at a glance
Contact Details
The Chevron Australia-operated Gorgon Project is one of the world's largest natural gas projects and the largest single resource development in Australia's history. The Gorgon LNG and domestic gas plants on Barrow Island (BWI) are supplied by gas from the offshore Gorgon and Jansz-Io fields. The Jansz-Io Compression (J-IC) Project will use proven subsea compression technology to enhance the recoverability of the Jansz-Io field to maintain long-term natural gas supply to the gas processing facilities on BWI. Part of the original development plan for Gorgon, the J-IC Project involves the modification of the existing subsea gas gathering network in the Jansz-Io field.
The subsea compression concept involves the provision of power from BWI to a floating field control station, which will host equipment to supply power and control to the electrically driven subsea compressors.
Hanwha Ocean Co.,Ltd. (previously called Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering) has been awarded a contract for the engineering, procurement, construction, and transportation of the Field Control Station (FCS) for the J-IC Project. The FCS will be built at the Okpo Shipyard in Geoje, South Korea.
Hanwha Ocean Co., Ltd. (HWO)
The shipyard of HWO,located at Okpo Bay, Geoje Island on the south eastern tip of the Korean Peninsula, was completed in 1981. Since then, HWO has grown into the world's premium shipbuilding and offshore contractor, specialising in building various vessels, offshore platforms, drilling rigs, FPSO/FPUs, submarines, and destroyers.
HWO is committed to providing full, fair and reasonable opportunity for Australian industry to supply goods and services to the FCS project (HWO point of Contact :Kevin Ha ycha@hanwha.com and Sora Kim sorakim@hanwha.com)
The Jansz-Io Compression (J-IC) Project
objective is to unlock low pressure reserves from the Jansz-Io reservoir and
maintain plateau production rates to the Gorgon Project facilities on Barrow
Island (BWI). The J-IC Project is therefore an upgrade to an existing facility.

Nexans Norway AS has been awarded a contract to engineer, manufacture and install a high voltage power cable from Barrow Island to an Normally Unattended Installation (NUI) semisubmersible Field Control Station (FCS). The scope comprises a 145kV HVAC cable of 135km, of which the nearest section to the FCS is dynamic in a lazy wave configuration, as well as supply of 15km of HV power and fibre optic cables to be installed on Barrow Island.
The HVAC power cable will cross eight pipelines/umbilicals along the route from BWI to the FCS. Prior to laying the cable all crossings will be prepared with concrete mattresses. After the power cable is laid on seabed it will be stabilised with rock installation and trenching within the shallow water section.
