History

In the early 1970s, the North West Shelf Venture participants discovered vast quantities of natural gas and condensate beneath the seabed on Australia’s north-west continental shelf, marking the birth of Australia's largest oil and gas resource development.

Since then, the North West Shelf Venture has invested more than A$27 billion in its facilities which today include offshore production platforms and subsea infrastructure, onshore processing and storage facilities at the Karratha Gas Plant, loading facilities, jetties, associated infrastructure and LNG ships.
