Woodside Acting CEO Liz Westcott said the company delivered strongly against its 2025 business objectives, outperforming production guidance while advancing key growth projects.
“We achieved record annual production of 198.8 million barrels of oil equivalent in 2025. This performance was driven by sustained plateau production at Sangomar through late October and Pluto LNG operating at 100% reliability for the second half of the year.
“In recent days we marked a special milestone for the Scarborough Energy Project with the safe arrival of the floating production unit at the field and commencement of hook-up activities. The project was 94% complete at the end of the year and remains on budget and on target for first LNG cargo in Q4 2026.
“In late December first production was achieved at Beaumont New Ammonia. Final project commissioning will continue through early 2026 ahead of project completion and Woodside assuming operational control. Production will commence with conventional ammonia with lower-carbon ammonia planned for 2H 2026.
“Woodside has finalised agreements with leading global customers to supply conventional ammonia from Beaumont. These deliveries will commence in 2026 and continue through year-end, under contracts that reflect prevailing market prices.
“We also continued to progress our major development pipeline, with the three‑train foundation phase of the Louisiana LNG Project reaching 22% completion at quarter‑end, targeting first LNG in 2029.
“During the period Woodside entered a strategic partnership with leading US gas infrastructure company Williams, selling a 10% interest in the Louisiana LNG HoldCo and an 80% operating interest in PipelineCo, further demonstrating the quality of the project. Under the transaction, Williams will contribute approximately $1.9 billion in capital expenditure and assume offtake obligations for 10% of Louisiana LNG’s produced volumes.
“The Trion Project in Mexico was 50% complete at the end of the year, with hull assembly and installation of all critical equipment on the topside’s modules now completed.
“Also during the quarter, we took a final investment decision to develop the North West Shelf Project’s Greater Western Flank Phase 4. The project extends production from the North West Shelf by around one year and delivers an internal rate of return of approximately 30%. 5
“During the period we signed long term LNG sale and purchase agreements with SK Gas International and BOTAŞ, supplied from Woodside's global portfolio including LALNG, evidencing the value customers place on our product.
“Woodside strengthened its position in the Gulf of America as the successful bidder on eight exploration blocks. 6
“We are looking forward to first LNG from Scarborough in the fourth quarter of this year. Our 2026 volume guidance of 172 - 186 MMboe reflects planned down time at Pluto as we prepare the facility to begin processing Scarborough gas and for first LNG cargo in Q4 2026.
“Woodside continues to execute our strategy as outlined at our recent Capital Markets Day. The executive team and I remain focused on safely delivering our operations and projects while maintaining rigorous cost management during the CEO transition period."

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and assumptions on which they are based include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in commodity prices, actual demand for Woodside’s products, currency fluctuations, geotechnical factors, drilling and production results, gas commercialisation, development progress, operating results, engineering estimates, reserve and resource estimates, loss of market, industry competition, sustainability and environmental risks, climate related transition and physical risks, changes in accounting, standards, economic and financial markets conditions in various countries and regions, political risks, the actions of third parties, project delay or advancement, regulatory approvals, the impact of armed conflict and political instability (such as the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East) on economic activity and oil and gas supply and demand, cost estimates, legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments, including but not limited to those related to the imposition of tariffs and other trade restrictions, and the effect of future regulatory or legislative actions on Woodside or the industries in which it operates, including potential changes to tax laws, and the impact of general economic conditions, inflationary conditions, prevailing exchange rates and interest rates and conditions in financial markets and risks associated with acquisitions, mergers, divestitures and joint ventures, including difficulties integrating or separating businesses, uncertainty associated with financial projections, restructuring, increased costs and adverse tax consequences, and uncertainties and liabilities associated with acquired and divested properties and businesses.
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.

Notes to petroleum reserves and resources
Additional information for US investors concerning resource estimates
Woodside is an Australian company with securities 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. The Reserves Statement presenting Woodside’s proved oil and gas reserves in accordance with the regulations of the SEC is filed with the SEC as part of Woodside’s annual report on Form 20-F. 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.
