Monadelphous secures Pluto LNG gig from Woodside

Australian engineering firm Monadelphous has secured a contract from compatriot LNG player Woodside for work on the first Pluto LNG train near Karratha in Western Australia.

Monadelphous said in a statement the contract is worth about A$200 million ($131 million).

Under the contract, Monadelphous will perform mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and commissioning works required for the modifications to the existing Woodside-operated Pluto LNG train 1 facility and associated infrastructure, it said.

This will enable gas from the Scarborough energy project to be processed at the Pluto train 1 facilities, Monadelphous said.

Monadelphous has previously performed construction services at the Pluto LNG project.

The company noted it currently provides maintenance, shutdown, and brownfields project services under a long-term agreement at various Woodside-operated onshore and offshore gas production facilities.

Woodside’s Pluto LNG terminal currently has one train with a capacity of 4.9 mtpa, but it is building a second train with a similar capacity.

In November 2021, Woodside took a final investment decision on the Scarborough and Pluto LNG Train 2 developments.

The project also includes new domestic gas facilities and modifications to the first train.

The second train will get gas from the Scarborough gas field, located about 375 km off the coast of Western Australia, through a new trunkline long about 430 km.

Woodside recently said that the Scarborough and the second Pluto LNG train projects were 67 percent complete at the end of the second quarter.

The company also said that the project’s price tag rose 4 percent to $12.5 billion.
