Woodside intends to use floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) technology to develop its three Browse Basin gas fields offshore Australia.
However, the selection of FLNG as the development concept requires the approval of the Browse Joint Venture partners.
Woodside’s decision follows the evaluation of alternative development concepts for Browse after the announcement in April this year not to proceed with the onshore development at James Price Point.
Other development concepts considered included a pipeline to existing facilities in the Pilbara and a modified option in the Kimberley.
