Natural Gas Project Paused After Greenpeace Protest Off Western Australia

Woodside's Scarborough natural gas project off Western Australia has paused operations at a floating production unit due to a Greenpeace protest.

The project, worth $12.5 billion, is a joint venture between Woodside and BHP Group.

Greenpeace activists boarded the unit on Friday, demanding that the project be scrapped due to environmental concerns.

Woodside stated that operations were paused as a safety precaution and that the activists were peacefully removed on Saturday.

The incident has not resulted in any injuries or disruptions to the project's timeline.
