Woodside Completes Final Module for $12.5B Gas Project Ahead of Schedule
Australia's energy giant Woodside has completed a major milestone in its $12.5 billion gas project, marking the arrival of the final and heaviest module for its Pluto LNG upgrade.
The 10-story, 4,500-ton structure is one of the heaviest ever delivered to the Pilbara region in Western Australia, representing the culmination of four years of planning, fabrication, and shipping.
The modifications project involves upgrading Pluto LNG's Train 1 facility to process gas from the Scarborough field, which is on track for first LNG cargo in Q4 2026. The final module was fabricated over two years in Thailand and shipped across almost 2,500 nautical miles to its final destination.
Fiacra Gleeson, Construction Manager, stated: 'Every part of the route, from bridges, drainage, above- and below-ground services plus foundations, was analysed in detail to ensure the path of the module didn’t clash with anything along the way.'
