Wheatstone LNG

The Wheatstone Project is one of Australia’s largest resource developments, operated by Chevron. It has an onshore facility located at the Ashburton North Strategic Industrial Area, 7.4 miles (12 km) west of Onslow in Western Australia’s Pilbara region. The foundation project includes two liquefied natural gas (LNG) trains and a domestic gas plant. At full capacity, the Wheatstone Project’s two train LNG facility will supply 8.9 million metric tons per year of LNG for export to customers in Asia.

Bechtel Western Australia Pty Ltd was awarded with the EPC contract for the Wheatstone LNG project. In September 2012 Bechtel awarded Van Leeuwen Pipe & Tube West Australia with the Blanket Purchase Order for the supply of carbon, low carbon, alloy, high alloy and stainless steel pipe, butt weld fittings, forged flanges and vessolets. An international dedicated project team working from the Netherlands, Singapore, Houston and Western Australia managed the project from the beginning to the end. The PFF materials were sourced from more than 25 different mills in Europe, US, South America and Korea. Moreover, the team took care of expediting, inspections, coordination of the logistics, quality assurance and final documentation. 

The material was supplied for construction to the various module yards in the Far East (China, Malaysia, Indonesia) and the Middle East as well as to the jobsite in Western Australia. Once built, these modules were shipped to the jobsite in Onslow, Western Australia.

For urgent requirements, Van Leeuwen used its global network of stocks close to the module yards (Singapore, Malaysia) to supply inventory material which met all of the specialized project requirements. The first delivery of material began end of 2012 and all deliveries were completed by the end of 2015.
