Woodside operates the Scarborough gas resource with 75% stake. The remaining 25% interest is with BHP Billiton. Situated in the Carnarvon Basin, the field is estimated to host 7.3 Tcf (2C, 100%) of dry gas.

Initially, the Scarborough resource will be developed with seven high-rate, subsea gas wells. These wells will be tied back to a semi-submersible floating production unit moored nearby. The recovered gas will be transported to the onshore processing facility by a 430km-long pipeline.
