Woodside will initially fund each contract on a 100% basis.
Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said: “We have made good progress since announcing last year that we had increased our stake in Scarborough. The award of these contracts brings us closer to unlocking the Scarborough resource.
“We want to continue to maintain the momentum that has been generated during 2018 towards a targeted final investment decision in 2020.”
Woodside’s preferred concept for the 7.3Tcf (2C 100%) Scarborough gas resource development is through new offshore facilities connected by a 430km export pipeline to the Burrup Peninsula with onshore processing at the expanded Pluto LNG facility.
Achievement of these milestones is subject to all necessary joint venture and regulatory approvals, as well as the finalisation of appropriate commercial arrangements.
