April 23 (Bloomberg) — Western Australias Environmental Protection Agencysaid it may release its recommendation to the government next week on whether to approve Chevron Corp.s Gorgon liquefied natural gas project.
The agency may pass on its advice on April 30, provided its work is completed, spokesman Charlie Maling said today. After a two-week period for appeals, the state government will decide whether to allow the project and on any conditions to be imposed.
The Gorgon venture, which includes Exxon Mobil Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc, reapplied last year for environmental consent after increasing planned capacity of the onshore plant by 50 percent. It had previously won the go-ahead in 2006 for a smaller version, to be built on the Barrow island nature reserve off the northwest coast, even after the environmental agency recommended it shouldnt proceed.
The venture may win environmental approval within days from Western Australias government, the West Australian reported today, citing State Premier Colin Barnett. State endorsement wont be an issue, he said in an interview in Perth in February.
The partners may clear all environmental hurdles by mid- year, Colin Beckett, Perth-based manager for the Greater Gorgon area at Chevron said in a Feb. 2 interview. The venture is targeting a decision by the year-end to proceed with what would be the nations biggest resources project, he said.
Chevron owns 50 percent of Gorgon and is the operator, while Exxon and Shell each owns 25 percent. The venture, which will have a capacity of 15 million metric tons a year, may cost A$50 billion to develop, Barnett said last month.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
