Chevron's Gorgon LNG Expansion Faces New Indigenous Lawsuit
US energy giant Chevron is facing a new legal challenge over its $80 billion Gorgon LNG expansion project in Australia. The lawsuit was launched by an indigenous group, who are contesting the project's environmental and social impacts.
The Gorgon project, operated by Chevron in partnership with Woodside Energy, has been a major player in the Australian LNG market since its launch in 2019. However, the expansion plans have raised concerns among local communities about potential harm to their lands and waterways.
The lawsuit is the latest in a series of challenges faced by Chevron and other energy companies operating in Australia. Last year, an Australian Federal Court dismissed a landmark greenwashing case against Santos, another LNG producer.
