Background
In 2013, Exxon and BHP Bilton had received the environmental approval for the Scarborough field development via what was to be the world’s largest FLNG facility.[2] The FID had been slated for 2014-2015, but the collapse in oil prices then forced the partners to pull the breaks on the project.[1]
The project developers, ultimately led by Woodside Energy, instead decided to liquefy gas from the Scarborough gas field at the onshore Pluto LNG Terminal, which reached a positive FID in 2021.
