Tom Allen's questions to WOODSIDE ENERGY GROUP (WDS) leadership • H1 2025
Question
Tom Allen of UBS Group AG asked about the Louisiana LNG equity sell-down, questioning if competition, EPC differences, or the political environment have altered expectations. He also inquired about the schedule slip for the Beaumont ammonia project and the status of potential partner and offtake agreements.
Answer
CEO & Managing Director Meg O’Neill stated that Woodside is being disciplined in seeking the right partner and fair value for Louisiana LNG, noting that the post-FID environment has allowed more potential partners to engage. For the Beaumont project, she clarified the schedule delay is due to construction issues managed by their partner OCI, with no cost impact to Woodside. The company's focus is on marketing the ammonia, and there is no active process to sell down equity in Beaumont.
