Chevron, China Huadian Green Energy Enter LNG Deal

Chevron Corporation Chevron Corporations subsidiary, Chevron U.S.A. Inc., has signed a non-binding liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply Heads of Agreement (HOA) with power generation corporation China Huadian Green Energy Co. Ltd. When the agreement is finalized, China Huadian Green Energy is expected to receive up to 1 million metric tons per annum (MTPA) of LNG over 10 years starting in 2020. This is an important step in the commercialization of Chevron’s natural gas holdings in Australia and the establishment of our global liquefied natural gas portfolio, said Pierre Breber, Executive Vice President, Chevron Gas and Midstream. We welcome the opportunity to supply LNG to China Huadian and look forward to building lasting relationships with our customers in the region as the Chevron-operated Gorgon and Wheatstone projects move into operations, said Roy Krzywosinski, Managing Director, Chevron Australia. The China Huadian agreement demonstrates Chevron’s equity gas from Australia is well-placed to meet the growing demand for natural gas in the Asia-Pacific region. Chevron, together with its partners ExxonMobil, Shell, Osaka Gas, Tokyo Gas and Chubu Electric Power, is developing the Gorgon Project, combining the development of the Gorgon Field and the nearby Jansz-Io Field. Facilities being built on Barrow Island include an LNG facility with three processing units capable of producing 15.6 MTPA of LNG, a carbon dioxide injection project and a domestic gas plant. Additionally, Chevron’s subsidiaries in Australia are developing the Wheatstone Project as an LNG and domestic gas operation near Onslow, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The project’s initial capacity is expected to be 8.9 MTPA of LNG. The project also includes a domestic gas plant.
