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. 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.
