伍德赛德能源集团有限公司表示，由于绿色和平组织抗议者登上该公司位于西澳大利亚州海岸外的斯卡伯勒天然气平台，预调试工作仍处于暂停状态。
Energy Group Ltd. said that pre-commissioning work at its Scarborough project off the coast of Western Australia remained paused after Greenpeace protesters climbed aboard the gas platform.
“绿色和平组织的行动引发了重大、可能造成高昂成本且完全可以避免的应对，”伍德赛德在一份声明中表示。该公司是澳大利亚最大的天然气出口商，称其“支持有关当局依法采取强有力的回应，以最大限度执行法律”。绿色和平组织在周日的一份声明中称，示威者周六晚上在斯卡伯勒平台上过夜。根据该声明，两名抗议者在平台上搭建了临时悬挂帐篷，另外两名抗议者返回了彩虹战士号船只。
“Greenpeace’s actions have triggered a significant, potentially costly and entirely avoidable response,” Woodside said in a statement. The company, Australia’s biggest natural gas exporter, said it “supports a strong response by relevant authorities to enforce the law to the fullest extent.”Demonstrators slept on Scarborough on Saturday night, Greenpeace said in a statement on Sunday. Two protesters have set up temporary hanging tents on the platform while two others have returned to the Rainbow Warrior vessel, according to the statement.
绿色和平组织表示，该天然气项目对海洋生态系统构成威胁，并将增加温室气体排放。
Greenpeace has said that the gas project is a threat to marine ecosystems and will add to greenhouse gas emissions.
根据伍德赛德网站的信息，斯卡伯勒项目已完成98%，并按计划在第四季度实现首批液化天然气货物出口。
The Scarborough project is 98% complete and is on track for its first liquefied natural gas cargo in the fourth quarter, according to Woodside’s website.
