Woodside Donaldson Loads First Export Cargo At Pluto LNG Terminal

June 25, 2012

This May, Teekay’s Woodside Donaldson loaded the first export cargo from the newly opened Pluto LNG Terminal in Western Australia.

The Pluto LNG Terminal, a 4.3 million ton per annum (MTA) LNG project owned by Woodside, processes gas from the Pluto gas field, located in the Carnarvon Basin about 190 kilometres north-west of Karratha.

The initial phase of the project comprises an offshore platform in 85 metres of water, connected to five subsea wells on the field. Gas is piped through a 180 kilometre trunkline to the onshore facilities, which include an LNG processing train.

The 2009 built LNG carrier, one of six recently acquired from Maersk LNG, is on a 15 year time charter to Woodside. We look forward to calling at the Pluto LNG terminal for many years to come.
