About the Scarborough Project
The Scarborough field is located approximately 375 km off the
coast of Western Australia. The Scarborough project will include
the installation of a floating production unit with eight wells
drilled in the initial phase and thirteen wells drilled over the
life of the Scarborough field. The gas will be transported for
processing at Pluto LNG through a new trunkline of approximately
430 km in length. Approximately five million tonnes per annum
(Mtpa) of Scarborough gas will be processed through Pluto Train 2,
with up to 3 Mtpa processed through the existing Pluto Train 1.
First LNG cargo is targeted for 2026.
The Scarborough reservoir contains less than 0.1% carbon dioxide
and combined with processing design efficiencies at the floating
production unit (offshore) and Pluto Train 2 (onshore), as well as
the modified existing Train 1, will deliver one of the lowest
carbon intensity projects for LNG delivered into Asian
markets.
