BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 5. Woodside Energy's
Scarborough energy project in Western Australia is 99% complete, on
budget, and on track to deliver its first LNG cargo in the fourth
quarter of 2026.
According to the company's Capital Markets Day 2026
presentation, the project has a capacity of 8 million tonnes per
annum (Mtpa) of LNG and 225 terajoules per day of domestic gas.
Woodside describes it as a long-life, low-decline LNG asset that
builds on its existing Pluto LNG infrastructure.
The integrated Pluto and Scarborough asset is expected to
contribute about $2.9 billion per year in adjusted operating cash
flow from 2027 through 2032 (Woodside share).
Woodside holds a 74.9% participating interest in Scarborough and
51% in Pluto Train 2.
Scarborough is one of Australia's largest gas developments. Gas
from the offshore Scarborough field is piped to the onshore Pluto
LNG facility near Karratha, where a new 5 Mtpa Pluto Train 2 has
been built and the existing Pluto Train 1 is being modified to
process Scarborough gas. Woodside's partners in the Scarborough
joint venture are LNG Japan (10%) and JERA (15.1%). The final
investment decision on Scarborough was taken in 2021. Woodside
Energy, headquartered in Perth, is Australia's largest independent
oil and gas company and is listed on the Australian Securities
Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.
