Chevron Australia has signed a new long-term sale and purchase agreement with Alinta Energy for the supply of natural gas from Chevron’s Western Australian (WA) gas portfolio.
Commencing in July 2027, Chevron will supply 46PJ of gas to Alinta Energy over a five-year period from across its equity interests in the Chevron-operated Gorgon and Wheatstone facilities, and the North West Shelf Project.

With Alinta Energy being one of the state’s largest gas retailers, the agreement supports the ongoing supply of energy to WA homes, businesses and industrial customers.
Chevron Australia president Balaji Krishnamurthy said, “Following almost a decade in operation, Gorgon and Wheatstone have become pillars of energy security for the state and together provide approximately 40% of WA’s domestic gas supply.
“The agreement is another demonstration of the way LNG developments, under WA’s long-standing domestic gas policy, have enabled a well-supplied domestic gas market, benefitting homes, businesses and vital industries.
“Natural gas underpins our everyday lives, from powering electricity generation to supporting the state’s world class mining sector, and we remain committed to delivering the affordable, reliable energy that Western Australians depend on.
“Enduring partnerships, like the one we have with Alinta Energy, are how that energy reaches homes and businesses right across the state.”
Alinta Energy managing director and CEO Jeff Dimery said, “We’ve worked with Chevron for many years, and this agreement builds on a partnership that has consistently delivered reliable gas supply for Western Australia.
