Woodside has released the final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Browse gas to North West Shelf (NWS) LNG project.
Woodside has released the final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Browse gas to North West Shelf (NWS) LNG project as “directed by the Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW)” which is “a significant and positive step in the regulatory approval process”.
The proposed Browse to NWS LNG project would send feed gas from Brecknock, Calliance and Torosa fields in the offshore Browse Basin to be processed and liquefied at the NWS LNG venture in Karratha Gas Complex.
The Australian operator has remarked that work activities continue in support of the project’s progress towards front-end engineering design entry.
According to the
Global LNG Database®, Browse Joint Venture’s partners are Woodside Energy (operator) 16.67%, Shell 16.67%, Japan Australia LNG (MIMI) 16.67%, BHP Billiton 16.67%, BP 16.67%, Chevron 16.67%
The proposed Browse gas development concept includes: 2 floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) facilities delivering 11.4 MMT/Y of LNG, LPG, Condensate and domestic gas; and an approximately 900 km pipeline to existing NWS LNG plant.
Woodside has said that “commercial discussions and technical studies, along with title and primary environmental approvals, are being progressed in support of the Browse to NWS development concept.”
Carbon management is a key focus for the development and a carbon capture and storage (CCS) concept is being evaluated.
In August, Woodside was awarded a greenhouse gas assessment permit over the Calliance field.
The three gas fields that make up the Browse development contain between 8% and 12% carbon dioxide.
