Woodside has lost $1.5 billion in value after announcing a cost blowout on one of its LNG projects. The company has revealed its Pluto project in WA's northwest is over budget by almost $1 billion. It was due to start production in December, but that's been delayed until March next year. The announcement sent Woodside shares tumbling by almost 4 per cent. Rio Tinto is expected to face court in Darwin over a petrol spill at its alumina refinery on the Gove Peninsula. Last year, the mining giant revealed that about 70,000 litres of unleaded petrol had leaked from an oil tank at its Alcan plant and into the soil below. The Territory Department of Resources has now decided to prosecute over the spill.
And the Greek government has named a new finance minister to tackle the country's crippling debt. The appointment of Evangelos Venizelos is part of a wider campaign of a cabinet reshuffle. It's hoped the new finance minister will be able to push through an austerity plan to avert bankruptcy.
And hopes of a new bailout package for Greece have given the European markets a boost. The DAX is up 54 points and the FTSE gained 16. In the US, the Dow Jones and the NASDAQ traded higher. The local share market finished the week with slight gains. The All Ords was up about four points and the ASX200 was up just six. |
