520 _aTranscripción del abstract original del autor: Australia will increasingly need to turn to natural gas to offset declining oil production and meet an expanding global need for clean energy. The Gorgon development Joint Venture Participants, (ChevronTexaco/ExxonMobil/Shell), are poised to develop the significant Gorgon gas reserves located 130km offshore the North West Australian coast to help fulfil this need. The Gorgon development has access to extensive certified hydrocarbon reserves of 12.9 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) and a development plan that can supply gas to a Barrow Island landfall at world competitive prices. Several concepts are being considered for development of the Gorgon reserves. Technology will play a key role, with the extensive use of sub-sea production facilities and innovative LNG design concepts being considered. The focus is on a design that would have a low unit cost and also provide new benchmarks in safety and environmental performance. The development of the Gorgon reserves could also facilitate the establishment of other gas-based industries in Western Australia and offers the opportunity for new gas-to-liquid (GTL) plants to lead Australia’s transition to a gas-based economy. The initial development of the Gorgon field and the industry it supports is expected to attract nearly A$4 billion investment. Total export income could reach A$2500 million per year for 30 years.
