Overview

Woodside Energy Ltd (Woodside) as Operator for and on behalf of the Browse Joint Venture, is proposing to develop the Browse Development Area located approximately 425km north of Broome in the offshore Browse Basin.

The Browse to North West Shelf (NWS) proposal in State waters surrounding Scott Reef involves drilling and completion, installation, commissioning, operation, well repair and workover, and decommissioning of up to 24 subsea wells and associated infrastructure located in Western Australian State waters.

Development of the remaining proposal elements is subject to assessment by the Commonwealth and includes two Floating Production Storage and Offloading facilities (FPSO) connected to existing NWS infrastructure via a 900-kilometre trunk line.

The proposal spans State and Commonwealth jurisdictions. The proposal's environmental assessment documentation informs the independant State and Commonwealth assessments. The public consultation period regarding the State component is now open.

Public feedback welcome 

The Environmental Review Document for the State waters component of the Browse to North West Shelf proposal is now available.
