US energy and LNG engineering company McDermott International has been awarded a contract by Australian export plant operator Woodside to develop the Scarborough gas field in Western Australia for Pluto LNG.
Australian liquefied natural gas plant operator Woodside Petroleum has agreed with German utility subsidiary Uniper Global Commodities to double the supply of LNG cargoes under a previous agreement signed with Düsseldorf-based energy and power company.
The latest LNG market report from Australia said LNG supplies to China are still strong even amid trade tensions that led liquefaction plant operator Woodside Petroleum to suspend talks with the Chinese over taking a stake in the Scarborough gas field offshore Western Australia.
Australian liquefied natural gas producer Woodside Petroleum recovered from a disastrous 2019 second quarter with a jump in third-quarter LNG revenue because the Pluto plant was back on line, though earnings were still lower than the third quarter of 2018.
