Key Developments & Data

Woodside Energy stated on Sunday that pre-commissioning operations remained paused at a floating production unit for its $12.5B Scarborough natural gas project off the coast of Western Australia following a Greenpeace protest. Four Greenpeace activists scaled the platform on Saturday, located about 375 km (233 miles) off Western Australia's northwest coast, and displayed banners opposing the company's gas plans. Greenpeace stated that the protest targets the potential impact of Woodside's proposed Browse project on Scott Reef, a remote coral system and foraging area for the endangered pygmy blue whale, while Woodside states no physical contact is expected with the reef above a 75-metre (246-foot) water depth. Australian Border Force stated on Saturday that it was working with federal and state agencies on a response, and added on Sunday that it had no further update on the incident. "Operations at the Scarborough FPU remain safely paused." — Woodside Spokesperson

Zubiqo Strategic Assessment

Primary Impact

Woodside Energy's $12.5B Scarborough natural gas project off Western Australia and federal maritime response agencies including the Australian Border Force.

Strategic Shift
