Woodside has received key primary approvals from the Commonwealth-Western Australian Joint Authority to support the execution of the Scarborough Project.
The Scarborough Joint Venture has received an offer for the pipeline license to construct and operate the Scarborough pipeline in Commonwealth waters.
Approval has also been granted for the Scarborough Field Development Plan (FDP), enabling Woodside to commence petroleum recovery operations from Petroleum Production Licences WA-61-L and WA-62-L.
These milestones follow final investment decisions made in November 2021 to approve the USD 12.0bn Scarborough and Pluto Train 2 developments.
Scarborough gas processed through Pluto Train 2 will be one of the lowest carbon intensity sources of LNG delivered to customers in North Asia, with the first LNG cargo targeted for 2026.
