Wheatstone’s onshore facilities are located 12 kilometres (km) west of Onslow on the Pilbara coast of Western Australia. The foundation project consists of two LNG trains with a combined capacity of 8.9 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), and a domestic gas plant.

How much did the Wheatstone project cost?

$US34 billion
The total cost of the Wheatstone project is $US34 billion. Gas projects span lives of multiple decades. For example, the Gorgon gas field was discovered in 1980, the Gorgon project was sanctioned in 2009, production commenced in 2016 and will operate until around 2070 – a 90-year life-span in total.
