Chevron Australia managing director Roy Krzywosinski said that the arrival of the final train 1 module marks a key milestone in the development of the largest single resource development in Australia’s history.
"This milestone is the culmination of an incredible effort by many people committed to safely delivering the Gorgon Project," Krzywosinski added.
The milestone follows the recent landing of the first carbon dioxide compressor and domestic gas modules.
The domestic gas module will condition and increase the natural gas pressure to a suitable level. It will then be transported via the project’s 90km pipeline from Barrow Island to the mainland.
