Woodside Energy Group (ASX: WDS) (NYSE: WDS):
Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill said the company continued to demonstrate operational excellence and world-class project execution over the second quarter, with a focus on driving future growth and value.
“We delivered strong production of 50 million barrels of oil equivalent for the quarter from our diverse portfolio of high-quality assets. At the same time, ongoing focus on cost control has enabled us to lower our unit production cost guidance for 2025.
“As we marked the anniversary in June of first oil from Sangomar, the project’s exceptional performance continued to make a strong contribution to quarterly results, with gross production reaching 101 thousand barrels per day at close to 100% reliability. Our outstanding safety record at Sangomar continued, with no recordable injuries during the project’s first year of operations.
“Our announcement in April of a final investment decision to develop the Louisiana LNG Project positions Woodside as a global LNG powerhouse, complementing our established Australian LNG business and enabling us to meet growing global demand from a broader range of customers.
“Louisiana LNG’s strategic advantages and value-generating potential were demonstrated by key infrastructure, offtake and gas supply agreements entered into during the quarter.
“In June, we completed the sell-down of a 40% interest in Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC to Stonepeak for $5.7 billion, with Stonepeak to contribute 75% of the project capital expenditure in both 2025 and 2026.
“We continue to receive strong interest from high-quality potential partners as we explore further sell-downs. With both the final investment decision and capital expenditure risk reduced through our transaction with Stonepeak, we will evaluate the most value-accretive opportunities and remain disciplined in our selection of strategic partners.
“Our collaboration agreement with Aramco signed in May also includes potential acquisition of an equity interest in, and LNG offtake from, Louisiana LNG. The agreement includes exploring potential collaboration opportunities in lower-carbon ammonia from our Beaumont New Ammonia Project.
“We remain focused on delivering our Scarborough and Trion projects on schedule and budget. In May, we connected the floating production unit hull and topsides for our Scarborough Energy Project, which is now 86% complete and on track for first LNG cargo in the second half of 2026.
“Our Trion Project offshore Mexico is now 35% complete and targeting first oil in 2028. Construction of the floating production unit is progressing well, and we are preparing for construction of the floating storage and offloading vessel to commence in the second half of 2025.
“This demonstrates that Woodside continues to deliver on our commitments, executing multiple major projects with strong safety performance and cost control.
“We are maintaining financial discipline during our current phase of capital expenditure and proactively managing our balance sheet. We issued $3.5 billion of unsecured bonds in the US market in an offering that was heavily oversubscribed, reaffirming the debt market’s view of Woodside.
“The $1.9 billion closing payment received from Stonepeak in June, plus proceeds from the divestment of our Greater Angostura assets in Trinidad and Tobago, further de-risks our balance sheet and strengthens our ability to both fund our growth projects and provide shareholder returns. We have made the decision to exit the H2OK Project, demonstrating our disciplined approach to portfolio management.
“We are also executing multiple, complex decommissioning activities offshore Australia. We successfully completed the plugging of the Minerva and Stybarrow wells. Removal of other equipment at the legacy Minerva, Stybarrow and Griffin assets has been impacted by unexpected challenges, with further engineering and alternative solutions required. Whilst this has had some cost impacts, we are applying learnings to improve planning and execution.
“We are pleased to have received the Australian Government’s proposed decision to grant environmental approval for the North West Shelf Project Extension. We are continuing constructive consultation with the Government.
“Conducting our business sustainably remains core to Woodside’s success and we remain firmly on track to meet our target of reducing net equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 15% by 2025.”

11 Woodside uses this term to describe the characteristic of having lower levels of associated potential greenhouse gas emissions when compared to historical and/or current conventions or analogues, for example relating to an otherwise similar resource, process, production facility, product or service, or activity. When applied to Woodside's strategy, please see the definition of lower-carbon portfolio in Woodside’s 2024 Annual Report.
12 Major Project Status is the Australian Government’s recognition of a project’s national significance through its contribution to strategic priorities, economic growth, employment, or to regional Australia.
13 Targets are for net equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions relative to a starting base of 6.32 Mt CO2-e which is representative of the gross annual average equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions over 2016-2020 and which may be adjusted (up or down) for potential equity changes in producing or sanctioned assets with a final investment decision prior to 2021. Net equity emissions include the utilisation of carbon credits as offsets.
14 This means net equity for the 12-month period ending 31 December 2025 are targeted to be 15% lower than the starting base.
15 Gas hub indices include Japan Korea Marker (JKM), TTF and National Balancing Point (NBP). It excludes Henry Hub.
16 Capital expenditure includes the following participating interests; Scarborough (74.9%), Pluto Train 2 (51%) and Trion (60%). It excludes the remaining Beaumont New Ammonia acquisition expenditure and Louisiana LNG expenditure. This guidance assumes no change to these participating interests in 2025. This excludes the impact of any subsequent asset sell-downs, future acquisitions or other changes in equity.
17 Q2 2025 includes 1.69 MMboe of LNG, 0.09 MMboe of condensate and 0.05 MMboe of NGL processed at the Karratha Gas Plant (KGP) through the Pluto-KGP Interconnector.
