Woodside Energy, the liquefied natural gas plants operator in Western Australia, reported a second-quarter increase in LNG sales revenues from the Pluto, Northwest Shelf and Wheatstone operations even at lower prices.

June 15 (LNGJ) - TechnipFMC, the Houston-based subsea and energy technologies company, has been awarded a significant contract by Australian LNG plant operator Woodside Energy to engineer, procure, construct and install flexible pipes and umbilicals for the Julimar Phase 3 development offshore Western Australia. The Company will tie back four subsea gas wells in the Carnarvon Basin to the existing Julimar subsea infrastructure producing to the platform for Wheatstone LNG.

   “We have a strong history of solid project execution with Woodside as demonstrated by the successful delivery of the Pyxis, Lambert Deep, and Greater Western Flank Phase 3 projects,” said Jonathan Landes, President of Subsea at TechnipFMC. “We look forward to continuing this collaborative relationship with this award on Julimar Phase 3 as part of our framework agreement,” Landes added.

The Western Australian Gorgon LNG plant on Barrow Island is ramping up after a scheduled maintenance programme at a time when spot prices are at a low level, though steady oil prices are underpinning long-term contract values.
