The Federal Court has confirmed the validity of the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority's (NOPSEMA) acceptance of the Scarborough Offshore Facility and Trunkline (Operations) Environment Plan. This decision marks a critical regulatory milestone for Woodside Energy's Scarborough project.
The Scarborough Operations EP was the final Commonwealth environmental approval required for Woodside to connect, commission, and operate the Scarborough floating production unit (FPU). This removes a significant regulatory hurdle for the major energy development.
Woodside welcomed the court's decision, which provides certainty for the project's progression. This approval is essential for the Scarborough Energy Project to move forward towards its targeted first liquefied natural gas (LNG) in 2026.
