Environmental protests suspend $12.5B gas project
Operations at the floating production unit in the $12.5 billion Scarborough gas project off the coast of Western Australia have been halted following a protest intervention by Greenpeace. The entry of activists without permits led to the suspension of dry safety activities, with the company not providing a timeline for resuming work. This shutdown raises concerns about its impact on the project's final stages, which are nearly complete at 98%. The protest comes as the organization opposes the project's environmental effects, particularly on coral reefs and endangered species, while the company affirms that its activities will not cause direct contact with the marine environment. The implications of the protest are currently being assessed in relation to the project's schedule, amid ongoing discussions about the environmental impact of developing offshore fields.
