Floating LNG plant considered

摘要

Woodside Petroleum is considering building a fl oating liquefi ed natural gas plant in East Timorese waters to escape from the proposed emissions trading scheme (ETS). The plant would process the gas from the Sunrise fi eld. Speaking to investors on 13 November, managing director Don Voelte said the company may use a fl oating facility to process gas from the Sunrise fi eld. "I wonder if the ETS is applicable to a vessel sitting in Timor-Leste waters," he said.
