MELBOURNE, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Woodside Petroleum WPL.AX expects to reveal plans for expanding its prized Pluto LNG project and connecting it to the North West Shelf LNG complex soon, its chief executive, Peter Coleman, said on Thursday.
Talks with the owners of the Scarborough gas resource off Western Australia, led by ExxonMobil Corp XOM.N , as well as drilling of an exploration well, Ferrand-A, around March, and other tie-ins could help underpin the expansion, Coleman told Reuters in an interview.
"We're even more positive on expansion today than we were 12 months ago," Coleman said.
