SYDNEY (Dow Jones)–BP PLC (BP.LN) Friday said it has agreed to sell gas to Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) and purchase it as liquefied natural gas after it has been processed through the Gorgon LNG project in Western Australia state.
The deal shows BP, which is already a 16.7% holder in Australia’s massive North West Shelf LNG joint venture, is keen to use its Australian gas interests to add to its Australian LNG export capabilities.
The proposed Gorgon LNG project is operated by Chevron Corp. (CVX) and also counts Shell and ExxonMobil Corp. (XOM) as shareholders.
BP said it and the Gorgon joint venture partners have agreed to merge the Io and Jansz gas fields offshore Western Australia into a single unit. The fields will be developed via the Gorgon project, BP said.
BP has a 12.5% interest in the Io field, with the Gorgon partners holding the rest. It doesn’t have an interest in the Jansz field.
A BP spokesman declined to comment on how much equity BP will hold in the combined fields.
Chevron in 2003 said appraisal drilling indicated that the Jansz field, including the adjacent Io block, contains about 20 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas.

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.
