‘Tough’ conditions on Chevron’s Wheatstone project

“Tough” conditions have been imposed on Chevron Corp’s proposed Wheatstone liquefied natural gas export project in the state’s northwest by Bill Marmion. Wheatstone may help Australia surpass Qatar as the world’s biggest exporter of liquefied natural gas by 2020, if it is given the go ahead. A Chevron spokesman stated that the company is “working through the details” of Marmion’s determination of public appeals against a mid-June report from the Environmental Protection Authority. “We look forward to a timely decision by the State and Federal Ministers for the Environment.’
