Western Gas has joined with participants of the North West Shelf project and Woodside Energy’s WDS.AX Pluto LNG plant to annually process up to 3 million tonnes of low carbon dioxide gas from the Equus gas project, off western Australia for LNG export from 2027.
Under the agreement, Western Gas would also be able to backfill existing LNG plants in the region and strengthen Australia’s energy security amid global energy market disruption and increasing LNG demand.
Western Gas has waited for over three years to find a partner for the $3.5 billion (€3.3 billion) project; the final investment decision is due to take place in 2024.
