Oil and gas jobs: Downer signs deal for works at Chevron’s Gorgon and Wheatstone plantsMatt MckenzieThe West AustralianMon, 10 November 2025 10:37AMEmail Matt Mckenzie
Downer EDI has won a $750 million Chevron contract for works at the Gorgon and Wheatstone gas exports plants in the Pilbara.
The ASX-listed company was locked in for a term of 10 years starting from January, with a potential five year extension.
The deal will include maintenance, asset management and small capital projects for non-process infrastructure assets at the two LNG plants.
Downer told markets the contract would be worth $750m if it ran the full 15 years.
Chief executive Peter Tompkins said the company had helped improve efficiency at the Chevron facilities.
“This contract builds on a strong, long-standing relationship with Chevron and reinforces our shared focus on keeping our people safe, driving performance, and collaboration,” he said.
Mr Tompkins also pledged that the two companies would create “meaningful opportunities for local and Indigenous communities”.
The Gorgon and Wheatstone plants ship almost 25 million tonnes of liquefied gas annually between them to trading partners including Japan and South Korea.
Chevron’s two facilities also produce more than 40 per cent of Western Australia’s domestic gas.
The West Australian reported in October that drilling on the company’s next wave of offshore fields — Geryon and Eurytion — was expected to get under way next year.
Downer shares were up 0.5 per cent to $7.79 at 10AM WST.
