Chevron plans "floatel" for mega project
2014-11-02 10:42:15| Oil & Gas - Topix.net
Chevron will house an extra 1200 workers in a "floatel" off Barrow Island in Western Australia to provide extra accommodation for the final stages of construction on its massive $US54 billion Gorgon liquefied natural gas project, which appears set to start up slightly later than its revised mid-2015 schedule. Chief financial officer Pat Yarrington told investors in the US that the additional accommodation would allow for a "good boost in productivity" for the mechanical, electrical and instrumentation work that needs to be completed to allow the huge project to start production in about a year's time.
