On 22 June 2023, NOPSEMA notified Woodside Energy Scarborough Pty Ltd that it was unable to complete its assessment of the Scarborough 4D B1 Marine Seismic Survey environment plan within the standard 30-day review period. The operator had submitted the plan (Revision 7) on 2 June 2023. NOPSEMA exercised its authority under regulation 10(1)(c) of the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage (Environment) Regulations 2009 to extend the decision deadline to 60 days from submission, with a decision promised by 31 July 2023. No specific deficiencies or concerns were detailed in this notice; it represents a procedural extension request pending further assessment.
