Jan 29 (LNGJ) - Woodside Petroleum, the Western Australia LNG plant operator, said one of its subsidiaries, Woodside Burrup Pty Ltd, and the North West Shelf (NWS) LNG shareholders have finalised arrangements with the State Government enabling the supply of Pluto LNG feed-gas, via an interconnector pipeline, for processing at the NWS Karratha Gas Plant (KGP).

   “Connecting the Pluto and NWS facilities accelerates the production of offshore Pluto gas and provides flexible access to emerging LNG processing capacity. The Pluto-KGP interconnector is the first step in realising our vision for a regional LNG hub on the Burrup Peninsula,” said Woodside Chief Executive Peter Coleman.

Australian LNG stakeholder Santos said it would concentrate on continuing to supply feed-gas to the Darwin LNG plant, operated by partner ConocoPhillips since 2006, as well as developing other Australian natural gas assets and expanding Papua New Guinea LNG output to meet rising Asian demand.
