Chevron Australia has entered into a new long-term sale and purchase agreement with Alinta Energy for the supply of natural gas from Chevron’s Western Australian (WA) gas portfolio.
Under the terms of the agreement, Chevron will deliver 46 petajoules of gas to Alinta Energy over a five-year period, beginning in July 2027.

The gas will be sourced from Chevron’s equity interests in the Gorgon and Wheatstone facilities, as well as the North West Shelf Project.
Alinta Energy is among WA’s largest gas retailers. The agreement is expected to contribute to the continuity of energy supply for homes, businesses and industrial customers in the state.
This arrangement extends a relationship between Chevron and Alinta Energy that has spanned more than 40 years.
Chevron Australia president Balaji Krishnamurthy highlighted the significance of gas projects for the state’s energy security.
Krishnamurthy said: “Following almost a decade in operation, Gorgon and Wheatstone have become pillars of energy security for the state and together provide approximately 40% of WA’s domestic gas supply.
“The agreement is another demonstration of the way LNG developments, under WA’s long-standing domestic gas policy, have enabled a well-supplied domestic gas market, benefitting homes, businesses and vital industries.
“Natural gas underpins our everyday lives, from powering electricity generation to supporting the state’s world-class mining sector, and we remain committed to delivering the affordable, reliable energy that Western Australians depend on.”
Alinta Energy managing director and CEO Jeff Dimery said: “We have worked with Chevron for many years, and this agreement builds on a partnership that has consistently delivered reliable gas supply for Western Australia.
“Securing long-term supply from established projects like Gorgon, Wheatstone and the North West Shelf is critical to meeting the needs of our customers and supporting the state’s energy security.
“This agreement gives us greater certainty in our portfolio and ensures we can continue to provide dependable energy for households, businesses and industry as the energy system evolves.”
In April 2026, Chevron signed an asset exchange agreement with Petróleos de Venezuela, broadening its involvement in Venezuela’s heavy oil industry and transferring specific gas holdings.
