Woodside Energy Group (ASX: WDS) (NYSE: WDS):
Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill said the company continued its focus on operational excellence and project delivery over the first quarter of 2025, while laying the foundation for Woodside’s next phase of value creation.
“We maintained world-class operational performance across our portfolio of high-quality assets, with Sangomar further boosting quarterly revenue through exceptional production of 78 thousand barrels per day at almost 98% reliability.
“Significant progress was made on our major growth projects, all of which are proceeding to schedule and within budget.
“At our Beaumont New Ammonia Project, pre-commissioning activities are expected to commence in the second quarter, with startup targeted for the second half of the year. This value-creating opportunity is set to deliver returns above our capital allocation framework and will position Woodside very competitively in the growing market for lower-carbon ammonia.
“Our Scarborough Energy Project is progressing as scheduled towards first LNG cargo in the second half of 2026, with the hull and topsides of the floating production unit being prepared for integration activities.
“The Trion Project is also gaining momentum. The construction of the subsea equipment and floating facilities is progressing well, and the project remains on schedule for first oil in 2028.
“We are progressing at pace towards a final investment decision on Louisiana LNG, positioning Woodside as a global LNG powerhouse. We passed a major milestone on 7 April, announcing the sale of a 40% interest in the infrastructure entity to Stonepeak, a leading global investment firm. The accelerated capital contribution from Stonepeak enhances Louisiana LNG returns, reduces Woodside’s capital commitments and strengthens Woodside’s near-term capacity for shareholder distributions.
“The exceptional value proposition offered by Louisiana LNG was further demonstrated by our 17 April agreement for long-term supply of LNG to Uniper, whose leadership in European energy markets make it an ideal foundation customer for the project.
“We are pleased with the strong level of interest from potential strategic partners and are advancing discussions targeting further equity sell-down in Louisiana LNG.
“Louisiana LNG has a Foreign-Trade Zone, enabling the project to defer payment of tariffs until completion of each LNG train. We are assessing the potential impacts of recent tariff announcements and potential further trade measures on Louisiana LNG. Around 25% of Louisiana LNG’s estimated capital expenditure is equipment and materials, approximately half of which is currently expected to be sourced from the US.
“As Australia approaches a federal election, it is encouraging to see both major parties recognising the essential role of gas in supporting national prosperity and a stable energy transition. We look forward to certainty for ongoing operations at the North West Shelf beyond 2030, to enable it to support thousands of direct and indirect jobs, billions of dollars in taxes and royalties, and secure future gas supply to Western Australia.
“Customer demand for Woodside’s LNG remains robust. The 15-year sale and purchase agreement with China Resources announced during the quarter was Woodside’s fourth new long-term contract with a regional customer in just over a year.
“With significant growth in the pipeline, we continue to streamline our business to focus on core and high-value assets. Our agreement to divest the Greater Angostura assets in Trinidad and Tobago for $206 million underscores our disciplined approach to portfolio management and optimisation. We applied the same discipline in declining to progress Namibian Petroleum Exploration Licence 87, exiting H2TAS and reassessing the H2OK project.”

A more detailed summary of the key risks relating to Woodside and its business can be found in the “Risk” section of Woodside’s most recent Annual Report released to the Australian Securities Exchange and in Woodside’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and available on the Woodside website at https://www.woodside.com/investors/reports-investor-briefings. You should review and have regard to these risks when considering the information contained in this report.
If any of the assumptions on which a forward-looking statement is based were to change or be found to be incorrect, this would likely cause outcomes to differ from the statements made in this report.
All forward-looking statements contained in this report reflect Woodside’s views held as at the date of this report and, except as required by applicable law, Woodside does not intend to, undertake to, or assume any obligation to, provide any additional information or update or revise any of these statements after the date of this report, either to make them conform to actual results or as a result of new information, future events, changes in Woodside’s expectations or otherwise.
Investors are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Actual results or performance may vary materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements. None of Woodside nor any if its related bodies corporate, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, advisers or representatives, nor any person named in this report or involved in the preparation of the information in this report, makes any representation, assurance, guarantee or warranty (either express or implied) as to the accuracy or likelihood of fulfilment of any forward-looking statement, or any outcomes, events or results expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement in this report.

Notes to petroleum reserves and resources
Additional information for US investors concerning resource estimates
Woodside is an Australian company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. As noted above, Woodside estimates and reports its proved reserves in accordance with SEC regulations, which are also compliant with SPE-PRMS guidelines, and estimates and reports its proved plus probable reserves and 2C contingent resources in accordance with SPE-PRMS guidelines. Woodside reports all petroleum resource estimates using definitions consistent with SPE-PRMS.
The SEC prohibits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, from disclosing estimates of oil or gas resources other than ‘reserves’ (as that term is defined by the SEC). In this announcement, Woodside includes estimates of quantities of oil and gas using certain terms, such as ‘proved plus probable (2P) reserves’, ‘best estimate (2C) contingent resources’, ‘reserves and contingent resources’, ‘proved plus probable’, ‘developed and undeveloped’, ‘probable developed’, ‘probable undeveloped’, ‘contingent resources’ or other descriptions of volumes of reserves, which terms include quantities of oil and gas that may not meet the SEC’s definitions of proved, probable and possible reserves, and which the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit Woodside from including in filings with the SEC. These types of estimates do not represent, and are not intended to represent, any category of reserves based on SEC definitions, and may differ from and may not be comparable to the same or similarly-named measures used by other companies. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and would require substantial capital spending over a significant number of years to implement recovery, and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of not being recovered by Woodside. In addition, actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from Woodside’s properties may differ substantially. Woodside has made no commitment to drill, and likely will not drill, all drilling locations that have been attributable to these quantities. US investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures in Woodside’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC and available on the Woodside website at https://www.woodside.com/investors/reports-investor-briefings and its other filings with the SEC, which are available at www.sec.gov.
