Woodside continues to receive Pluto Train 2 modules

Australian LNG producer Woodside continues to receive modules from Indonesia at the Pluto Train 2 project site in Western Australia.

Woodside’s CEO Meg O’Neill visited the Pluto Train 2 site last week and saw firsthand the progress the company is making on the Scarborough energy project, according to a social media post by Woodisde.

As of August 5, Woodside had 31 of the 51 modules that will make up Pluto Train 2 set in place.

“The progress being made is a clear demonstration of Woodside’s ability to safely execute large-scale integrated projects,” O’Neill said.

As the Pluto Train 2 modules are set in place, the next phase of the construction work involves the progressive integration of the modules to form the facility.

In February this year, Woodside received the first three modules from Indonesia at the Pluto Train 2 project site in Western Australia.

Singapore’s Sembcorp Marine, now Seatrium, joined forces with Bechtel in 2021 to build these modules.

$12.5 billion

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

The projects also include new domestic gas facilities and modifications to the first train.

Woodside’s Pluto LNG terminal currently has one train with a capacity of 4.9 mtpa and Woodside and US engineer Bechtel started building the second Pluto train last year.

Pluto Train 2 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.

Moreover, Woodside’s Scarborough and the second Pluto LNG train projects were 67 percent complete at the end of the second quarter.

Woodside also said that the project’s price tag rose 4 percent to $12.5 billion from $12 billion.

The schedule remains unchanged, with first LNG cargo targeted for 2026.
