能源集团有限公司（Energy Group Ltd.）表示，在绿色和平组织（Greenpeace）抗议者于周末登上该天然气平台导致调试工作暂停后，位于西澳大利亚州海岸附近耗资120亿美元的斯卡伯勒（Scarborough）液化天然气出口项目的调试工作已经恢复。
Energy Group Ltd. said commissioning work at its $12 billion Scarborough liquefied natural gas export project off the coast of Western Australia has resumed after being paused on the weekend when Greenpeace protesters climbed aboard the gas platform.
这家澳大利亚最大的天然气出口商周一在声明中表示，涉及未授权登上斯卡伯勒浮式生产装置的事件已经得到解决，调试活动已重新启动。
The incident involving unauthorized access to the Scarborough floating production unit has been resolved and commissioning activities have restarted, Australia’s biggest natural gas exporter said in a statement on Monday.
绿色和平组织早些时候在一份声明中表示，示威者周六晚上在该装置上过夜。该组织称，两名抗议者在平台上搭建了临时的悬挂帐篷，另有两人返回了“彩虹勇士号”（Rainbow Warrior）船只。
Demonstrators slept on the unit on Saturday night, Greenpeace said earlier in a statement. Two protesters set up temporary hanging tents on the platform while two others returned to the Rainbow Warrior vessel, according to the group.
澳大利亚边防部队、州警方和国家近海石油安全与环境管理局（National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority）发表的一份联合声明称，两名男子已被起诉，可能面临最高10年的监禁处罚。声明称，他们定于周一在卡拉塔地方法院（Karratha Magistrates Court）出庭，调查仍在进行中。
Two men have been charged and could face a maximum penalty of 10 years’ imprisonment, according to a joint statement by the Australian Border Force, state police and National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority. They are due to appear before the Karratha Magistrates Court on Monday and investigations are ongoing, according to the statement.
伍德赛德（Woodside）在一份声明中表示，该公司将“配合当局，使法律得以最大程度地执行”。斯卡伯勒是伍德赛德的一个关键增长项目，该公司指望新的液化天然气供应来帮助提升产量并满足亚洲不断增长的需求。该开发项目的完成度已超过98%，并计划在年底前运出第一批货物，而此时正值中东出口中断导致全球市场依然吃紧。
Woodside said in a statement it will “cooperate with authorities to enable the law to be enforced to the fullest extent.”Scarborough is a key growth project for Woodside, which is banking on new LNG supply to help lift production and meet rising demand in Asia. The development is more than 98% complete and targeting its first cargo before the end of the year, at a time the global market remains tight amid disruption to Middle East exports.
但该项目长期以来一直受到绿色和平组织等环保人士的批评，该组织曾表示，该项目对海洋生态系统构成了威胁，并将增加温室气体排放。
But the project has long drawn criticism from environmental activists like Greenpeace, which has said it is a threat to marine ecosystems and will add to greenhouse gas emissions.
周一，该活动组织向伍德赛德总部递交了一份请愿书，呼吁政府叫停西澳大利亚州的另一个液化天然气开发项目——Browse项目，并保护斯科特礁。绿色和平组织表示，这是澳大利亚规模最大的环保请愿之一，已收集近50万个签名。
The activist group delivered a petition to Woodside’s headquarters on Monday, calling on the government to stop the Browse project, another LNG development in Western Australia, and save Scott Reef. It is one of Australia’s biggest environmental petitions with almost 500,000 signatures, Greenpeace said.
绿色和平组织澳大利亚太平洋地区首席执行官戴维·里特表示：“伍德赛德面临的社区压力正在不断加大。今天我们来到这里，就是要让伍德赛德知道，他们不能无视这50万人的呼声——这些人希望斯科特礁得到保护，而不是被变成工业化的天然气开采区。”
“Community pressure on Woodside is rising. Today we are here to show Woodside that they can’t ignore half a million people who want Scott Reef protected, not turned into an industrialized gas zone,” said David Ritter, chief executive officer at Greenpeace Australia Pacific.
