MELBOURNE, Oct. 2 -- Chevron Australia has awarded another contract for its Gorgon-Jansz LNG project off Western Australia, this one valued at $550 million to CB&I for the construction of product storage tanks on Barrow Island.

The scope of the work includes the engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction of two 180,000 cu m LNG containment tanks and four condensate tanks as well as the associated piping, electrical, instrumentation, and civil works.

The work is slated for completion in third-quarter 2013.

First LNG is due in 2014 and domestic gas should be on stream by the end of 2015.
