Wheatstone Project Background
What is this the Wheatstone Project about? Chevron Australia Pty Ltd (Chevron) is constructing a multi-train Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and domestic gas (Domgas) plant near the town of Onslow on the Pilbara Coast, Western Australia. The gas fields are located offshore in the West Carnarvon Basin. Ashburton North is the approved site for the LNG and Domgas plants. The Ashburton North site is located approximately 12 km south-west of Onslow along the Pilbara coast within the Shire of Ashburton (Chevron, 2010). The Project is installing gas gathering, export and processing facilities in both Commonwealth and State waters and on land. The Wheatstone Project will produce gas from Production Licences located 145 km offshore from the mainland and 225 km north of Onslow. It will consist of two LNG processing trains, each with a capacity of between four and seven million tonnes per annum (Chevron, 2010). What are the Project objectives, requirements and outcomes? The primary objectives either directly or indirectly relates to performance, cost and time. The objectives are to:    Commercialise the hydrocarbon resources with the Chevron owned Petroleum Titles, and efficiently and reliably recover these resources; Provide an acceptable return on investment (time and cost); and Manage all environmental, health, security and safety issues with Chevron’s standards and recognized global industry standards in mind. (Chevron, 2011) Wheatstone Project’s requirements are to be a multi-train gas project that will process gas for Chevron as well as third-party gas owners in the Carnarvon Basin and potentially other areas. The outcome is to bring gas to the international and domestic markets. (Chevron, 2010)

    Feb 2013 A. Explain the following four major components of cost of project…………. aug12,feb12 1. Material Cost 2. Utilities cost 3. Labor cost 4.Factory overhead cost Ans: 1. Material Cost: the most important element of cost, the material cost comprises of the cost f raw material, chemical, components and consumable stores required for production. It is a function of the quantities in which these materials are required and the prices payable for them. While estimating the material cost, the following points should be borne in mind: 1. The requirements of various material inputs per unit of output may be established on the basis of one or more of following a) theoretical consumption norms B) experience of industry c) performance guarantees d) specification of machinery supplies. 2. The total requirement of various material inputs can be obtained by multiplying the requirements per unit of output with the expected output during the year. 3. The price of material inputs are defined in CIF (cost, insurance, freight) terms. 4. The present costs of various material input is considered. 5. If seasonal fluctuation in prices are regular, the same must be considered in estimating the cost of material inputs 2. Utilities cost: Utilities consists of power, water and fuel. The requirement of power, water and fuel may be determined on the basis of the norms specified by the collaborators, consultants etc. or the consumption standards in the industry, whichever is higher. The cost of power shown here would include only the cost of bought out power and it may be estimated on the basis of power tariff structure of the concerned electricity board. the cost of captive power would naturally be reflected in the cost of fuel. The cost payable to local authorities and charges payable to some other firms for water supply may be shown separately. The cost of fuel often an important item, is somewhat more difficult to estimate. 3. Labour cost: Labour cost is the…
