Liquified natural gas is only set to grow in importance. According to Chevron (CVX -0.46%), demand will double by 2025. That's why the company, along with Apache Corp. (APA -2.26%), ExxonMobil (XOM -0.71%), and Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A), is completing $80 billion worth of LNG projects off the coast of Australia.
Through these two projects, Chevron anticipates increasing its Asia-Pacific production by 45% once 2018 rolls around. Next year will see the first production from the company's Gorgon project, followed shortly thereafter with the slightly less expensive Wheatstone facility.
