FIRST QUARTER REPORT FOR PERIODED 31 MARCH 2023
Delivering reliable production
* Delivered quarterly production of 46.8 MMboe (520
Mboe/day), down 9% from Q4 2022 due to planned
turnaround and maintenance activities. Full-year
production guidance remains unchanged.
* Delivered sales volume of 50.4 MMboe, down 4% from Q4
2022, primarily due to lower production.
* Delivered revenue of $4,330 million, down 16% from Q4
2022, due to lower production and lower realised
prices.
* Production, sales volume and revenue increased 122%,
112% and 81% respectively from Q1 2022, driven by the
expanded operations portfolio post-merger.
* Achieved high LNG reliability of 99.9% at Pluto LNG
and 98.3% at North West Shelf (NWS) Project.
* Achieved a portfolio average realised price of $85
per barrel of oil equivalent.
* Sold 32% of produced LNG at prices linked to gas hub
indices.
Executing major projects
* The Scarborough and Pluto Train 2 projects in Western
Australia are now 30% complete, with manufacturing of
the export trunkline 86% complete and first concrete
poured for Pluto Train 2.
* The development drilling program for Sangomar
progressed, with ten of 23 wells complete. The
Sangomar floating production storage and offloading
(FPSO) topsides integration and pre-commissioning
works continued in Singapore.
* Subsequent to the period, Mad Dog Phase 2, in the
Gulf of Mexico (GoM), successfully achieved first
production and will continue to ramp up through 2023.
Investing in growth
* Received competitive tenders for Trion, which are
currently being evaluated in support of targeted
final investment decision (FID) readiness in 2023.
* Progressed key project activities for H2OK to support
targeted FID readiness in 2023.
Woodside CEO Meg O'Neill said Woodside delivered outstanding
operational performance in the quarter, particularly at Pluto LNG
where reliability averaged 99.9%.
"Our operations teams continued to achieve strong outcomes.
Production was 122% higher than the corresponding quarter last
year, demonstrating the significant value generated by the merger
with BHP's petroleum business.
"Production and revenue declined from Q4 2022 primarily due to
planned turnaround and maintenance activities at Australian assets
and lower realised prices.
"We are making good progress on all major growth projects in
Australia and globally. The Scarborough and Pluto Train 2 projects
are now 30% complete, with construction of key offshore and onshore
infrastructure ramping up. First concrete has now been poured on
the Pluto Train 2 site. Engagement with stakeholders and regulators
on secondary environmental approvals for offshore execution
activities continued.
"The Sangomar development drilling program is nearing its
half-way point, with ten of 23 wells completed. Installation and
testing of the rigid flowlines, which total 101km in length, were
successfully and safely completed. This is a key milestone on the
path to targeted first oil later this year.
"At the Trion project in the GoM, we have received tenders for
key equipment and activities including the floating production
unit, long-lead rotating equipment, subsea equipment, drilling rig
and installation scopes as we target FID readiness this year.
"Mad Dog Phase 2 in the US GoM achieved a significant milestone
with first production in April 2023. Mad Dog is one of several low
cost producing assets for Woodside in the region with significant
expansion potential and in close proximity to infrastructure and
attractive markets.
"Within our new energy business, we continue to progress
activities and approvals for our H2OK project in support of
achieving FID readiness this year," she said.

Exploration
-- In the US Gulf of Mexico (GoM) Woodside was the highest
bidder on 12 leases in lease sale 259 with the final lease award
pending regulatory approval. The bids were concentrated in the
central GoM Miocene and western GoM Paleogene trends. Two of the 12
bids were joint bids with Oxy, in which Woodside would hold a 40%
non-operating interest. [24]
-- In Egypt, the regulator has approved Woodside's acquisition
of a 27% interest in two non-operated blocks in the Herodotus
Basin.
-- Woodside signed an option agreement to acquire at least a 56%
interest in Namibia Petroleum Exploration License 87, located in
the Orange Basin offshore Namibia. The decision to exercise the
option will follow evaluation of seismic data acquired as part of
the agreement.

MMboe of LNG and 0.01 MMboe of condensate processed at the Karratha
Gas Plant (KGP) through the Pluto-KGP Interconnector.
[3] Includes the aggregate Woodside equity domestic gas
production from all Western Australian projects.
[4] Natural gas liquids (NGL) include LPG, ethane, propane and
butane.
[5] Q1 2023 includes 0.31 MMboe, Q4 2022 includes 0.31 MMboe and
Q1 2022 includes 0.03 MMboe primarily from feed gas purchased from
Pluto non-operating participants processed through the Pluto-KGP
Interconnector.
[6] Overriding royalty interests held in the Gulf of Mexico
(GoM) for several producing wells.
[7] Natural gas liquids (NGL) include LPG, ethane, propane and
butane.
[8] Processing of volumes commenced at the Karratha Gas Plant
via the Pluto-KGP Interconnector in 2022.
[9] Includes periodic adjustments reflecting the arrangements
governing Wheatstone LNG sales of 0.06 MMboe in Q1 2023, 0.03 MMboe
in Q4 2022 and -0.18 MMboe in Q1 2022.
[10] Natural gas liquids (NGL) include LPG, ethane, propane and
butane.
[11] Overriding royalty interests held in the GoM for several
producing wells.
[12] Natural gas liquids (NGL) include LPG, ethane, propane and
butane.
[13] Purchased LNG volumes sourced from third parties.
[14] Q1 2023 includes $3 million, Q4 2022 includes $2 million
and Q1 2022 includes -$20 million recognised in relation to
periodic adjustments reflecting the arrangements governing

[21] 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.
[22] 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. This table does not reflect the impact of such
transfers.
[23] Scarborough key project expenditure includes Scarborough
offshore, Pluto Train 2, Pluto Train 1 modification and Train 2
tie-in spend. Prior period comparatives have been restated to
