Woodside Energy pauses pre-commissioning work at its Scarborough gas project off Western Australia after Greenpeace protesters climb aboard the offshore platform. The company says early start-up activity remains halted, following the protest, as authorities respond.
Woodside frames the disruption as a significant and avoidable consequence of the activists’ actions, saying its response could be costly. Other reports describe the pause more directly as a suspension of pre-commissioning following the boarding, without adding further operational detail. Across outlets, the central point is that the protest interrupts work at the offshore site rather than affecting a decision on the project’s future. The incident focuses on operational timing and Woodside’s immediate actions while the standoff continues and officials take steps in response.
