Scott and Seringapatam Reefs

Scott and Seringapatam Reefs is a group of atoll-like reefs in the Timor Sea more than 300 kilometres (190 mi) northwest of Cape Leveque, Western Australia, on the edge of the continental shelf.

Further to the northeast are Ashmore and Cartier Islands, and to the southwest are the Rowley Shoals.

Each of the reefs rises steeply from the seabed 400–500 metres (1,300–1,600 ft) below.

Much of the reef area dries at low tide, but besides Sandy Islet of Scott Reef South, there are only a few rocks and sandbanks above the high water mark.

Browse LNG was a major[4] liquefied natural gas (LNG) project being developed by Woodside Petroleum, and included the Torosa gas field which lies underneath Scott Reef South and Scott Reef North.
