NOPSEMA Approval

Woodside’s Scarborough Energy Project has overcome its final Commonwealth environmental hurdle with the Federal Court upholding NOPSEMA’s approval of the Scarborough Operations Environment Plan. This allows Woodside to proceed with connecting and operating the Scarborough floating production unit. CEO Meg O’Neill emphasized the project’s economic benefits and role in providing low-carbon LNG to Asian markets and bolstering domestic gas supply. The project, 86% complete as of June 30, 2025, is expected to produce 8 million tonnes of LNG per year and contribute to Western Australia’s domestic gas supply. First LNG cargo is anticipated in H2 2026.
