Woodside Petroleum and its partners will not proceed with the Browse floating LNG project due to the downturn in the crude oil price, which is currently trading at around $US40 a barrel. It is estimated that the project would cost $A50bn to develop, and Woodside CEO Peter Coleman says crude oil would have to be trading at between $US50 to $US60 per barrel for Browse to break even. Coleman adds that other options will be considered for developing the Browse project.
