Pluto LNG is a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant operated by Woodside Energy on the Burrup Peninsula, Western Australia. [1]
The Pluto gas field was discovered in April 2005, government approvals for development were obtained in 2007 and the facility began producing LNG in 2012. [2]
The facility has a single 5.9 Mtpa (million tonnes per annum) LNG train, small 25 TJ per day pipeline gas export facility [3] and an LNG truck loading facility. [1] Gas is supplied by the Pluto A platform, located 174 kilometres (108 mi) north-west of Karratha in 85 metres (279 ft) of water. [1]
A second ~5 Mpta train and 225 TJ per day pipeline gas export facility were approved for construction at the site in 2021 as part of development of the Scarborough gas field. [4] The first LNG produced from Scarborough is expected in 2026. [5]
