NOPSEMA approved Woodside Energy Scarborough Pty Ltd's Environment Plan for the Scarborough 4D B1 Marine Seismic Survey, an exploration petroleum activity. The assessment team concluded the EP was appropriate for the activity's nature and scale, based on: adequate activity description including seismic parameters and temporal/spatial scope; thorough environmental description covering physical, biological, and socio-economic values with reference to EPBC Act protections; impact and risk assessment proportionate to potential harms, with greater focus on seismic acoustic emissions; and cumulative impact evaluation encompassing other regional petroleum activities including the Sasanof-1 exploration well and Jansz-lo Compression project. Stakeholder consultation was systematically incorporated into the acceptability assessment process.
