Woodside has announced that the processing of gas from the Pluto fields’ Pyxis hub has begun at the Karratha Gas Plant on the North West Shelf.
This follows the start-up of the 3.2km Pluto-KGP Interconnector pipeline, linking Pluto LNG with the Karratha Gas Plant, which is now expected to process approximately 2.5 million metric tons of LNG in aggregate and about 20 petajoules of domestic gas from Pluto between 2022 and 2025.
Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill said: “The start-up of the Pluto-KGP Interconnector provides access to spare capacity as Karratha Gas Plant to process gas owned by other resource owners, both onshore and offshore Western Australia. The processing of gas from the offshore Pluto field also enables Woodside to deliver additional LNG cargoes into the international gas market.”
Woodside is operator of the North West Shelf Project which is partnered with BHP Petroleum, BP, Chevron, Japan Australia LNG and Shell. Woodside has a 90% interest in Pluto LNG.
