绿色和平活动人士登上伍德赛德斯卡伯勒天然气项目浮式装置 抗议暂时中断作业
据路透社10月17日报道，绿色和平组织表示，其活动人士当天登上了伍德赛德能源公司斯卡伯勒（Scarborough）天然气项目的浮式生产装置。该项目造价125亿美元，位于西澳大利亚州外海。
绿色和平在其网站上说，四名活动人士攀上这座半潜式装置，打出「停止伍德赛德的脏天然气、拯救斯科特礁」的横幅，抗议行动一度使装置作业暂停。斯科特礁是一个珊瑚礁系统，也是濒危侏儒蓝鲸的觅食区，位于西澳州西北海岸约390公里（242英里）外。绿色和平等环保团体一直关注该项目对斯科特礁的潜在影响。
伍德赛德在声明中表示，公司正「应对一起有个人非法进入斯卡伯勒浮式生产装置的事件」，发言人称：「我们的当务之急是安全管理这起事件，尽量降低对涉事人员与我们员工的风险。」
澳大利亚边境执法局表示，已知悉西澳海岸外的抗议活动，正与联邦及州机构协同应对。伍德赛德称，自2018年以来，公司已就该项目开展了广泛的环境咨询。（GSM 据路透社报道）
Greenpeace Activists Occupy Woodside Scarborough Gas Unit off Western Australia
Greenpeace said on Saturday that its activists occupied a floating production unit at Woodside's $12.5 billion Scarborough gas project off the coast of Western Australia state, Reuters reported from Sydney on October 17. Four activists scaled the semi-submersible unit and displayed banners reading "Stop Woodside's Dirty Gas. Save Scott Reef," the group said on its website, adding that the protest temporarily shut down operations.
Environmental groups are concerned about the project's potential impact on Scott Reef, a coral system and foraging area for the endangered pygmy blue whale about 390 km (242 miles) off the state's northwest coast.
Woodside said it was "responding to an incident involving individuals who have gained unlawful access to the Scarborough floating production unit." "Our immediate focus is on managing the situation safely and minimising risk to the individuals involved and our workforce," a spokesperson said. The Australian Border Force said it was aware of the protest activity and was working with federal and state agencies. Woodside says it has conducted extensive environmental consultation on the project since 2018. (GSM, based on Reuters reporting)
