Woodside completes installation of Scarborough Energy Project trunkline

Woodside Energy has announced the successful completion of the installation of the Scarborough Energy Project trunkline.

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. The trunkline was a critical piece of infrastructure for the Scarborough Energy Project, noted Woodside, requiring installation by specialized vessels and teams.

“The completion of installation is a significant accomplishment, reflecting the dedication of all involved in achieving this project milestone,” said Liz Westcott, Executive VP and CEO of Woodside’s Australia operations. “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 Woodside, Saipem and subcontractor teams are to be congratulated on their outstanding delivery of this key element of the project.”

The Scarborough Energy Project is more than two-thirds complete and is set to help lower carbon emissions and meet global reliable energy demands for the present and future. This includes up to 225 terajoules a day of domestic gas supply into the Western Australian market.
