Scarborough and Pluto Train 2 reach 99%, with first LNG cargo targeted for Q4
Woodside reports completed compressor mechanical runs while cold-end work continues.
The story explained
Woodside’s 21 October quarterly report puts Scarborough and Pluto Train 2 at 99% completion at September-end, excluding Pluto Train 1 modifications. First LNG cargo remains targeted for Q4 2026.
All Train 2 compressor mechanical runs are complete. After quarter-end, Scarborough gas entered the train’s warm-end pretreatment section; cold-end work continues. Gas introduction does not establish commercial LNG shipments.
Train 1 modifications to process Scarborough gas continue, with the final module onsite for hook-up and integration. First-cargo timing remains a company target dependent on completing commissioning and start-up.
Why it matters
Editorial analysis: This stage centres on cleanliness, isolation, interlock verification and cold commissioning; no new valve supply contract is disclosed.
