Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill said the first quarter continued strong
revenue performance with an increase in produced LNG sales volumes
and $2.36 billion of sales revenue.
“The implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have reverberated
globally, exacerbating already tight energy markets, particularly
for LNG. This has resulted in unprecedented volatility and price
spikes to levels not seen since the early part of last decade.
“Revenue was buoyed by a strong average realised portfolio price of
$93 per barrel of oil equivalent, despite overall lower sales
volume due to reduced trading activity in the currently volatile
global energy market.
“We expect in the second quarter to see the continued benefit of
stronger pricing, reflecting the oil price lag in many of our LNG
contracts.
“In April, significant milestones were achieved in the lead up to
the shareholder vote on Woodside’s proposed merger with BHP
Petroleum.
“We believe the case for the proposed merger with BHP Petroleum is
compelling. It will bring together the best of two successful
organisations and deliver the increased scale, diversity and
resilience to provide value to shareholders and ensure Woodside
better navigates the energy transition.
“The Woodside Board unanimously recommends shareholders vote in
favour of the merger.
“The Explanatory Memorandum and Independent Expert Report, which
concluded that the proposed merger is in the best interests of
Woodside shareholders, were issued earlier this month ahead of the
vote, scheduled for our Annual General Meeting on 19 May. Also in
April, Woodside filed the required regulatory documents for our
secondary listings in New York and London, which are expected to
become active on completion of the proposed merger, targeted for
1 June 2022.

“Work on our Scarborough and Pluto Train 2 projects began to ramp
up during the first quarter with Bechtel, the engineering,
procurement, construction and commissioning contractor for Pluto
Train 2, beginning major civil works for the construction
accommodation village in Karratha.
“Manufacture of the Scarborough pipeline commenced, and we also
exercised a contractual option to fabricate the Scarborough subsea
structures in Western Australia.
“Looking ahead, Woodside has signed binding agreements for the
long-term charter of three new-build LNG carriers to be delivered
prior to the start-up of
Scarborough. The new vessels will improve the cost-competitiveness
and fuel efficiency of the Woodside fleet.
“In Senegal, the Sangomar Field Development Phase 1 is now more
than 50% complete and remains on track for targeted first oil in
2023. Subsea equipment fabrication is progressing, and the second
drillship, the Ocean BlackHawk, is scheduled to commence activities
in mid-2022.
“An important transition point in the history of the North West
Shelf Project was realised in March with the start-up of the Pluto-Karratha Gas
Plant (KGP) Interconnector pipeline, for the first time enabling
processing of third-party gas at Australia’s largest LNG production
facility.
“The start-up of the
Pluto-KGP Interconnector
supports the accelerated production of gas from the first phase of
Pluto’s Pyxis Hub, which is now operating and achieving targeted
gas flow rates and in recent days the first LNG cargo produced
through the Interconnector was loaded.
“Julimar-Brunello Phase 2 is now in steady state operations and in
April, the North West Shelf’s Greater Western Flank Phase 3 project
achieved ready for start-up
ahead of schedule.
“During the quarter we released our Climate Report 2021 which
outlines our response to climate change and our strategy to thrive
through the energy transition as a low-cost, lower-carbon energy
provider.
“Work has also continued on Woodside’s new energy opportunities.
Our collaboration with Heliogen has also deepened with our
agreement to deploy a 5 megawatt electric module of the US
company’s AI-enabled
concentrated solar energy technology in California, as well as
jointly market Heliogen’s renewable energy technology in
Australia.
“We have launched a carbon capture and utilisation (CCU)
collaboration with US-based
technology developers ReCarbon and LanzaTech to investigate the
viability of a proposed CCU pilot facility in Perth,” she said.

First
Quarter 2022 Report Scarborough Field Development Plan approved
SCARBOROUGH AND PLUTO TRAIN 2 Bechtel was issued full notice to
proceed for Pluto Train 2 in January 2022.1 Major civil works for
the construction accommodation village have commenced in Karratha,
and first steel was cut for prefabricated buildings. The sale of a
49% non-operated participating interest in the Pluto Train 2 Joint
Venture to Global Infrastructure Partners was completed in January
2022. Manufacture of Scarborough line pipe commenced and a
contractual option was exercised to fabricate the Scarborough
subsea structures within Western Australia. Resourcing was
mobilised in readiness for topside fabrication for the Scarborough
floating production unit in Q2 2022. In April the Scarborough Field
Development Plan (FDP) was accepted, and offers received for the
Scarborough pipeline licences from the relevant regulators.
Following approval of the FDP, the Scarborough and Pluto Train 2
processing and services agreement executed in November 2021 is now
unconditional. COURT PROCEEDINGS DISMISSED In March 2022, the
Supreme Court of Western Australia dismissed two proceedings
brought against the Chairman of the Environmental Protection
Authority challenging the Pluto LNG and Karratha Gas Plant
environmental approvals made in 2019. SANGOMAR FIELD DEVELOPMENT
PHASE 1 Subsea equipment fabrication continues to progress, and
equipment continues to be delivered to Senegal. The subsea
installation campaign schedule has been revised and is scheduled to
commence in Q3 2022. FPSO conversion activities continued despite
challenges caused by COVID-19. The second and last drydock activity
scope is complete. The development drilling program progresses as
planned and the second drillship, the Ocean BlackHawk, remains on
schedule to commence drilling in mid-2022. Confirmation was
received from the Government of Senegal that a two-year exploration
period extension has been granted for the PSC area covering SNE
North-Spica. The Sangomar Field Development Phase 1 was 56%
complete at the end of the period and remains on track for targeted
first oil in 2023. Bechtel comprises Bechtel (Western Australia)
Pty Ltd and Bechtel International, Inc.

Pluto gas
processing commenced at NWS PYXIS HUB The first phase of the
Pyxis Hub project, comprising the wells in the Pyxis and Pluto
North fields, is operating. Performance tests have confirmed the
target flow rates of up to 220 million standard cubic feet per day
(mmscf/d) for Pyxis and up to 170 mmscf/d for Pluto North have been
achieved. Pyxis Hub comprises the subsea tie-back of the Pyxis,
Pluto North and Xena fields to the Pluto offshore platform. The
second phase of the project is on track for drilling, completions
and subsea tie-back of the Xena 2 well in H2 2022. The project was
83% complete at the end of the period. PLUTO-KGP INTERCONNECTOR The
Pluto-KGP Interconnector achieved ready for start-up and commenced
flowing gas from the offshore Pluto fields to Karratha Gas Plant
(KGP) for processing. Gas from the Pyxis Hub supported start-up of
the Pluto-KGP Interconnector and in April 2022, the first LNG cargo
produced through the Interconnector was loaded. NWS EXTENSION
Tolling operations commenced at the North West Shelf (NWS) Project,
following the start-up of the Pluto-KGP Interconnector.
Approximately 2.5 million tonnes of LNG in aggregate and
approximately 20 petajoules of domestic gas from Pluto is expected
to be processed at KGP in the period 2022 to 2025. JULIMAR-BRUNELLO
PHASE 2 The project has achieved steady state operations.
Julimar-Brunello Phase 2 involves the tie-back of the Julimar field
to the Wheatstone platform, supporting continued production from
Wheatstone. GREATER WESTERN FLANK PHASE 3 The four well development
drilling campaign was completed in January 2022, and the subsea
installation program commenced. GWF-3 (including Lambert Deep) is a
subsea tie-back opportunity to further commercialise
the NWS reserves. The project was 90% complete at the end of
the period. In April 2022, ready for start-up was achieved for
GWF-3 ahead of the planned schedule and RFSU for the Lambert Deep
well is expected later this year. BROWSE The Browse Joint Venture
completed work with regulators and stakeholders to support the
ongoing assessment of the Browse to NWS environmental referral.

Expenditure
Exploration expense includes the reclassification of well results
during the period. Q4 2021 includes $31 million of exploration and
$40 million of evaluation expensed as a result of the write-off of
Myanmar Block AD-7. Subsequent to the release of the Q4 2021
results, Woodside announced its decision to withdraw from its
interests in Myanmar. As a result, the Q4 2021 expense has been
adjusted to include $66 million of exploration expensed and $72
million of evaluation expensed relating to the write-off of Myanmar
Blocks A-6 and AD-1. Exploration capitalised represents expenditure
on successful and pending wells, plus permit acquisition costs
during the period and is net of well costs reclassified to expense
on finalisation of well results. Project final investment decisions
result in amounts of previously capitalised exploration and
evaluation expense (from current and prior years) being transferred
to oil and gas properties. The table above does not reflect the
impact of such transfers. Woodside’s share of exploration,

Notes on
petroleum resource estimates, forward looking statements and other
conversion factors Notes on petroleum resource estimates Unless
otherwise stated, all petroleum resource estimates are quoted as at
the balance date (i.e. 31 December) of the Reserves Statement in
Woodside’s most recent Annual Report released to the Australian
Securities Exchange (ASX) and available at
https://www.woodside.com.au/news-and-media/announcements, net
Woodside share at standard oilfield conditions of 14.696 psi
(101.325 kPa) and 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.56 degrees Celsius).
Woodside is not aware of any new information or data that
materially affects the information included in the Reserves
Statement. All the material assumptions and technical parameters
underpinning the estimates in the Reserves Statement continue to
apply and have not materially changed. Woodside reports reserves
net of the fuel and flare required for production, processing and
transportation up to a reference point. For offshore oil projects,
the reference point is defined as the outlet of the floating
production storage and offloading facility (FPSO), while for the
onshore gas projects the reference point is defined as the inlet to
the downstream (onshore) processing facility. Woodside uses both
deterministic and probabilistic methods for estimation of petroleum
resources at the field and project levels. Unless otherwise stated,
all petroleum estimates reported at the company or region level are
aggregated by arithmetic summation by category. Note that the
aggregated Proved level may be a very conservative estimate due to
the portfolio effects of arithmetic summation. ‘MMboe’ means
millions (106) of barrels of oil equivalent. Dry gas volumes,
defined as ‘C4 minus’ hydrocarbon components and non-hydrocarbon
volumes that are present in sales product, are converted to oil
equivalent volumes via a constant conversion factor, which for
Woodside is 5.7 Bcf of dry gas per 1 MMboe. Volumes of oil and
condensate, defined as ‘C5 plus’ petroleum components, are
converted from MMbbl to MMboe on a 1:1 ratio. The estimates of
petroleum resources are based on and fairly represent information
and supporting documentation prepared under the supervision of, and
approved by Mr Jason Greenwald, Woodside’s Vice President Reservoir
Management, who is a full-time employee of the company and a member
of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Mr Greenwald’s
qualifications include a Bachelor of Science (Chemical Engineering)
from Rice University, Houston, Texas, and more than 20 years of
relevant experience. Disclaimer and important notice This report
contains forward looking statements, including statements of
current intention, statements of opinion and expectations regarding
Woodside’s present and future operations, possible future events
and future financial prospects. Such statements are not statements
of fact and may be affected by a variety of known and unknown
risks, variables and changes in underlying assumptions or strategy

the ASX Listing Rules, Woodside disclaims any obligation or
undertaking to publicly update any forward looking statements, or
discussion of future financial prospects, whether as a result of
new information or of future events. All figures are Woodside share

intended to identify forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and
contingencies that are subject to change without notice and involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of
which are beyond the control of Woodside, BHP and their respective
related bodies corporate and affiliates (and each of their
respective directors, officers, employees, partners, consultants,
contractors, agents, advisers and representatives), and could cause
results, performance or achievements to be materially different
from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be
expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements or any
projections or assumptions on which those statements are based.
The forward-looking statements are subject to risk factors,
including those associated with the oil and gas industry as well as
those in connection with the Transaction. It is believed that the
expectations reflected in these statements are reasonable, but they
may be affected by a range of variables which could cause actual
results or trends to differ materially, including but not limited
to: price fluctuations, actual demand, currency fluctuations,
geotechnical factors, drilling and production results, gas
commercialisation, development progress, operating results,
engineering estimates, reserve estimates, loss of market, industry
competition, environmental risks, physical risks, legislative,
fiscal and regulatory developments, economic and financial markets,
conditions in various countries, approvals and cost estimates.
Investors are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements, particularly in light of the current
economic climate and the significant uncertainty and disruption
caused by the COVID-19
pandemic. Forward-looking statements are provided as a general
guide only and should not be relied on as an indication or
guarantee of future performance. These statements may assume the
success of the Transaction, BHP’s oil and gas portfolio or
Woodside’s business strategies, the success of which may not be
realised within the period for which the forward-looking statements
may have been prepared, or at all. No guarantee, representation or
warranty, express or implied, is made as to the accuracy,
likelihood of achievement or reasonableness of any forecasts,
prospects, returns, statements or tax treatment in relation to
future matters contained in this presentation.
