The Gorgon gas field is situated 130 km offshore on the Northwest Shelf of Western Australia. The field was discovered by West Australian Petroleum Pty. Limited (WAPET) in 1980, and two successful appraisal wells were drilled in 1982 and 1983. The Gorgon Field was discovered in 1980 by West Australian Petroleum Pty Ltd, a joint venture of Ampol Petroleum and Caltex (owned by Texaco and Standard Oil of California, later to become Chevron). Further drilling and appraisal throughout the decade established the resource was world-class. The Gorgon facility comprises an LNG plant with a capacity of 15.6 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) and a domestic gas plant on Barrow Island in Western Australia. The $54bn project is one of the world’s biggest LNG projects and is the biggest single resource project in Australia’s history.

The $54bn project is one of the world’s biggest LNG projects and is the biggest single resource project in Australia’s history. Two giant gas fields, Gorgon and Jansz, feed the 15.6 million tonne-a-year Gorgon LNG plant and the domestic gas plant on Barrow Island. The pressure in the reservoirs drives the gas to the island but ongoing production drops the pressure and eventually the gas must be compressed to keep the operation at full capacity. Oilfield terminology refers to the jargon used by those working in fields within and related to the upstream segment of the petroleum industry.It includes words and phrases describing professions, equipment, and procedures specific to the industry. It may also include slang terms used by oilfield workers to describe the same. Oil was first discovered on Barrow Island more than 50 years ago. Since the first discovery of oil in 1964 and production commencing in 1967, the Barrow Island oil field has yielded more than 327 million barrels of oil and delivered more than $1 billion in revenue to the Western Australian community.
