Sangomar fuels record-breaking production

Operations

Record quarterly production of 53.1 MMboe (577 Mboe/day), up 20% from Q2 2024 due to ramp-up of Sangomar, increased uptime across operated assets including 99.9% LNG reliability at Pluto and increased seasonal domestic gas demand. Full-year production guidance has been narrowed to 189–195 MMboe.
Quarterly revenue of $3,679 million, up 21% from Q2 2024 primarily due to Sangomar cargo sales and higher average LNG prices.
Achieved nameplate capacity at Sangomar with gross production rates of 100,000 barrels per day.
Capitalised on increased gas-hub prices by selling 39% of produced LNG cargoes in the quarter on prices linked to gas hub indices.1 Full year gas hub guidance has been increased to 33–37% of produced LNG.

Projects

The Scarborough Energy Project was 73% complete at the end of the quarter, with trunkline installation successfully completed in October. The project is on track for first LNG cargo in 2026.2
The Trion Project was 15% complete at the end of the quarter and is targeting first oil in 2028.
Completed acquisition of OCI’s Clean Ammonia Project in Beaumont, Texas for an all-cash consideration of approximately $2,350 million, with 80% paid and the remaining 20% to be paid at project completion. The project is targeting first ammonia production from 2025 and lower carbon ammonia from 2026.3

Other

Completed acquisition of Tellurian and its US Gulf Coast Driftwood LNG development opportunity in October. The project has been renamed Woodside Louisiana LNG.
Signed a sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with JERA for the supply of approximately 0.4 Mtpa LNG for 10 years.
Executed 66 PJ of Western Australian gas sales for delivery across 2025 and 2026.
Successfully completed issuance of $2 billion of senior unsecured bonds to quality debt investors in the US market, with the book peaking at almost four times oversubscribed.

Woodside Energy Group (ASX: WDS) (NYSE: WDS) (LSE: WDS):

Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill said:

“We would like to acknowledge the tragic death in early October of an employee of one of the construction contractors at our Clean Ammonia Project in Beaumont, Texas.

“Safety is our top priority. We are taking steps to understand the circumstances around what occurred and are working closely with local authorities, OCI and the contractor company.

“Our production for the third quarter was a record 53.1 million barrels of oil equivalent. The strong operational performance was underpinned by the accelerated ramp-up of Sangomar and exceptional performance at Pluto LNG and NWS, which recorded 99.9% and 99.2% reliability respectively.

“Our 39% exposure to LNG gas hub indices allowed us to take advantage of increased LNG spot prices in the market over the period, demonstrating the importance of maintaining a balanced and flexible portfolio.

“At Sangomar the 24-well drilling program has been completed and the project has achieved nameplate capacity of 100,000 barrels per day. Commissioning activities continue to progress as planned and start-up of gas and water injection systems is underway.

The Scarborough Energy Project in Western Australia is now 73% complete and remains on target for first LNG cargo in 2026. Installation of the offshore Scarborough gas trunkline was completed in early October.

“At the end of September we completed the acquisition of OCI’s Clean Ammonia Project in Beaumont, Texas. Subsequent to quarter end, we completed the acquisition of Tellurian and its development opportunity, now named Woodside Louisiana LNG.

“The Clean Ammonia Project is expected to produce first ammonia in 2025 and at Woodside Louisiana LNG we are targeting final investment decision (FID) readiness from the first quarter of 2025. These acquisitions expand our diverse, geographically advantaged portfolio and position Woodside to execute our strategy to thrive through the energy transition and deliver long-term value to shareholders.

“Our sale and purchase agreement with JERA for the long-term supply of LNG from Woodside’s global portfolio again evidenced the value Asian customers place on our product.

“Woodside’s commitment to the domestic market was also demonstrated by the execution of gas sales of 66 petajoules (PJ) across 2025 and 2026 in Western Australia. In eastern Australia, to date we have executed sales of 63 PJ across 2025 and 2026 under an ongoing Expression of Interest process, with further sales expected to be completed in the fourth quarter.”

1 16% of total equity production in the quarter was sold on prices linked to gas hub indices.

2 The completion % excludes the Pluto Train 1 modifications project.

3 Production of lower carbon ammonia is conditional on supply of carbon abated hydrogen and ExxonMobil’s CCS facility becoming operational. See disclaimer and important notices on page 16 for information on “lower carbon ammonia”.

These amounts will be included within other income/(expenses) in the financial statements rather than operating revenue.

23 Includes the impact of periodic adjustments related to the production sharing contract (PSC).

24 Overriding royalty interests held in the GoM for several producing wells.

25 Values include revenue generated from purchased LNG and Liquids volumes, as well as the marketing margin on the sale of Woodside’s produced LNG and liquids portfolio. Marketing revenue excludes hedging impacts and cargo swaps where a Woodside produced cargo is sold and repurchased from the same counterparty to optimise the portfolio. The margin for these cargo swaps is recognised net in other income.

26 Total sales revenue excludes all hedging impacts.
