Woodside Petroleum has completed a deal to sell a stake in the Pluto LNG plant to US-based Global Infrastructure Partners. The $4.9bn deal for GIP to buy a 49 per cent stake in the Pluto LNG Train 2 joint venture had been announced in November. The new processing unit at the Pluto project is expected to cost $US5.6bn ($7.8bn) in total, with shipments slated to begin in 2026. Jack Bertolus of climate shareholder action group Market Forces has criticised National Australia Bank for heading a consortium of 18 banks that will provide lending to GIP for the project.
