Boskalis awarded Seabed Intervention & Shore Crossing contract
for Woodside’s Scarborough export gas pipeline
Papendrecht, 30 July 2019
Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) has been awarded the
contract for the seabed intervention and shore crossing activities
for Woodside’s proposed Scarborough export gas pipeline in North
West Australia. The contract awarded by Woodside Energy Ltd.
(Woodside), in its capacity as operator of the Scarborough Joint
Venture, potentially carries a value of EUR 145 million if all
options are called and is subject to a final investment decision
which is expected in 2020. The preparatory activities for this
multidisciplinary project have commenced recently. The seabed
intervention and shore crossing works are scheduled to start in
March 2021 with an expected completion mid-2022.
The scope of activities includes the pre-trenching of the
nearshore pipeline route along a 50 kilometers section, offshore
deep water excavation works, pre-lay and post-lay rock installation
for pipeline and fiber optic cable crossings, the post installation
burial and other protection works to ensure the stability of the
pipeline. Support for the shore crossing to the onshore processing
facility on the Burrup Peninsula as well as rock supply are also
part of the contract. Boskalis will work to make best use of local
content, based on capability and competitiveness, for the delivery
of its scope of work.
Boskalis will deploy a wide variety of its in-house specialist
expertise and equipment including a trailing suction hopper
dredger, a backhoe dredger, a dynamically positioned fallpipe
vessel and rock installation vessel, survey vessels and an offshore
construction vessel.
The Scarborough gas field is situated approximately 375
kilometers offshore the Burrup Peninsula in North West Australia.
The proposed export pipeline will transport natural gas between the
Scarborough Floating Production Unit and the onshore processing
plant. Woodside’s preferred development option is to process the
Scarborough gas through a brownfield expansion of Pluto LNG.
