Woodside is expecting to receive bids for the Browse LNG project’s huge onshore turnkey contract in late June.
The company is already sitting on offers for the upstream component and, once the onshore bids are in, will spend about six months evaluating the proposals during a crucial period that will help define the project’s capital costs.
Woodside chief executive Peter Coleman has been keen to emphasise the development is going forward after the authorities recently approved a delay to a sanction decision until 2013.
