Name of the Project
Scarborough gasfield development – Pluto Train 2.
Location
About 375 km off the coast of Western Australia.
Project Owner/s
The Pluto Joint Venture (JV), including the Pluto foundation assets, comprises Woodside Burrup (90%), Kansai Electric Power Australia (5%) and Tokyo Gas Pluto (5%).
The Pluto Train 2 JV comprises Woodside Burrup Train 2 A (51%) and Global Infrastructure Partners (49%).
Woodside is the operator of Pluto LNG and the Pluto Train 2 JV.
Project Description
The Scarborough project will include the installation of a floating production unit, with eight wells drilled in the initial phase and 13 wells drilled over the life of the field.
The gas will be transported for processing at Pluto LNG through a new 430-km-long trunk line. An estimated five-million tonnes a year of Scarborough gas will be processed through Pluto Train 2, with up to three-million tonnes a year processed through the existing Pluto Train 1.
The Scarborough reservoir contains less than 0.1% carbon dioxide. Combined with processing design efficiencies at the floating production unit (offshore) and Pluto Train 2 (onshore), as well as the modified existing Train 1, the reservoir will deliver one of the lowest-carbon intensity projects for liquefied natural gas sold to Asian markets.
