Woodside Petroleum has opened the proposal for its planned Scarborough gas development off Western Australia for public comment, writes Josh Lewis.
Australian regulator the National Offshore Petroleum Safety & Environmental Management Authority confirmed last week the proposal would remain open for public comment via its website until 30 August.
The initial development will look to commercialise the Scarborough and North Scarborough gas fields via a number of subsea, high-rate gas wells tied back to a semi-submersible production unit in about 900 metres of water, close to the Scarborough field.
