Feb 21 (LNGJ) - Woodside Energy said the first three Pluto Train II modules for the Scarborough expansion project have arrived at Karratha in Western Australia. The modules were fabricated at an Indonesian yard by US energy engineers Bechtel and weigh a combined total of more than 4,000 metric tonnes. “The safe and timely arrival of the module is testament to the hard work and dedication of the Woodside team and our lead contractor Bechtel,” said Woodside Chief Executive Meg O’Neill said.
Woodside said that the modules were three of a total of 51 that would be shipped to the site from the module yard to form Pluto LNG Train II. The second Pluto Train will have nameplate capacity of 5 million tonnes per annum and up to 3 MTPA of LNG will be processed at the existing Pluto Train 1 following modifications to accommodate the Scarborough field’s lean gas. The Pluto expansion is scheduled to ship its first cargo in 2026.
