Overview

Representing an investment of $A27 billion, the North West Shelf Venture facilities constitute Australia’s largest oil and gas resource development and currently account for more than 40 per cent of Australia’s oil and gas production.

The North West Shelf Venture supplies oil and gas to Australian and international markets from huge gas and condensate fields in the Carnarvon Basin on Australia’s north-west continental shelf.

The North West Shelf Venture currently supplies about 65 per cent of Western Australia’s domestic gas market and has delivered more than 2800 cargoes of LNG to customers in the Asia Pacific region since 1989.

More than 1260 cargoes of condensate have also been delivered to international energy markets.

In 2009 the North West Shelf Venture marked two significant milestones with 25 years of domestic gas production and 20 years of LNG exports.

The North West Shelf Venture facilities are operated by Woodside. Click here for more information.
