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.
