WOODSIDE FACES GAS LEGAL CHALLENGE
Woodside will be subjected to a spate of legal challenges to its plans to expand gas production in Australia, chief executive Meg O’Neill says, and she has urged the federal government to push for legislative change.
Australian gas companies, most notably Santos, have been dealt significant blows after the Environmental Defenders Office won a series of legal challenges to block work on new projects.
Ms O’Neill said she expected the EDO to turn its attention to Woodside, which would threaten the gas giant’s $16.5bn Scarborough LNG project in Western Australia. “What we are seeing is that the EDO is going to challenge everything associated with the Barossa and Scarborough,” she said.
In September, a federal court said Woodside could not begin seismic work at Scarborough.
