Tanks and Terminals,
When operational, the 433 km trunkline will transport gas from the offshore Scarborough field to the onshore Pluto LNG processing facility in Karratha. The installation of the trunkline took around 12 months to complete with numerous teams and contractors contributing to the successful work program.
Woodside Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Australia Liz Westcott said the trunkline was a critical piece of infrastructure for the Scarborough Energy Project, requiring installation by specialised vessels and expert teams.
“With the last components of the trunkline in place, the focus will be maintained on safely executing the remaining project scopes to support the targeted first Scarborough LNG cargo in 2026."
The Scarborough Energy Project is more than two-thirds complete and is set to help meet demand for the lower carbon and reliable energy the world needs today and into the future. This includes up to 225 terajoules/day of domestic gas supply into the Western Australian market.
The project is expected to generate more than A$50 billion in direct and indirect taxes for Australia's economy, more than 3000 jobs during the construction phase and create or sustain almost 600 jobs on average during operations.
