Woodside’s Pluto Trains 2 and 3 move into FEED

The FEED contracts for Woodside’s Pluto trains 2 and 3 have been awarded to joint venture partners Foster Wheeler and WorleyParsons, together with Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR).

FEED studies are expected to be completed in the second half of 2010.

The Pluto Gas Field initial, project phase includes a single LNG production train at the Burrup LNG Park with forecast production of 4.3 million tonnes per annum. The project is located on the Burrup Peninsula of Western Australia.

T he train will be connected via a 180 kilometre, 36 inch offshore pipeline to a platform in 85 metres of water, which in turn will be connected to five subsea big bore wells on the Pluto field. A second and third LNG train are expected to be added, in addition to a domestic gas facility for the Western Australian market.

In an article appearing in The Australian this week, Senior Human Resources Manager, Lesley Adams said that Woodside did not decrease its level of recruitment in 2009, hiring some 450 new employees to support the current and future needs of the operation.
