Woodside Petroleum plans to use the Scarborough offshore field development for building foundation offshore infrastructure for further liquefied natural gas growth in Western Australia, writes Russell Searancke.
The operator has accelerated the Scarborough project since recently completing the US$744 million acquisition of ExxonMobil’s 50% operating interest in the resource, and now controls the project via a 75% holding, with BHP on the remaining 25%.
