Woodside bankers up; Anchorage pulls up stumps in Oz; Mira/Aware split Vocus equity

Good evening,

We’re back in the world of energy infrastructure.

While Trans-Tasman wind farm developer Tilt Renewables receives bids tomorrow, across in WA, Woodside Petroleum has started to court infrastructure funds and other potential buyers for a sale of its own.

Woodside wants a passive investor to acquire up to a 50 per cent stake in its proposed Pluto Train 2 development - a new gas processing plant that could take and process gas from its Scarborough project.

Woodside has bankered up and kicked off discussions. We reveal who’s in its camp.

Elsewhere, distressed debt investor Anchorage Capital Group (Slater & Gordon’s major shareholder) is pulling up stumps in Australia, and we take a look at who is helping fund the Vocus Group takeover.

Happy reading

Sarah Thompson, Anthony Macdonald and Tim Boyd
