Pluto LNG Project

Woodside’s Pluto LNG Project is set to become the fastest developed LNG project from discovery of the gas field in 2005 to first gas from the field in late 2010 and first LNG in early 2011.

Approved for development in July 2007, the foundation project will process gas from the Pluto and Xena gas fields, located in the Carnarvon Basin about 190 km north-west of Karratha, Western Australia.

The Pluto LNG Project is underpinned by 15-year sales agreements with Kansai Electric and Tokyo Gas. Both companies became project participants in January 2008, each acquiring a 5% interest in the foundation project.

With construction of the foundation project progressing, Woodside is preparing for expansion with a second and third LNG train and pipeline gas facility.
