Summary

Woodside delivered strong half-year production of 548 thousand barrels oil equivalent per day (99.2 million barrels of oil equivalent total) and reported a half-year net profit after tax (NPAT) of $1,316 million. Underlying NPAT was $1,247 million, compared to $1,632 million in the corresponding period in 2024. Operating revenue rose 10% year-on-year to $6,590 million.

The directors have determined a fully franked interim dividend of 53 US cents per share (cps), representing an 80% payout ratio of underlying NPAT, and an annualised yield of 6.9%.7

CEO Meg O’Neill said the results demonstrate Woodside’s world-class business is rewarding shareholders with strong dividends today, while ensuring the balance sheet strength to deliver major growth projects.

“Strong underlying performance of our assets, our robust financial performance, and a focus on disciplined capital management have enabled us to maintain our interim dividend payout ratio at the top end of the payout range.

“The outstanding performance of our high-quality assets over the first half has continued to support safe, reliable operations. This has been complemented by a strong focus on cost management, resulting in a reduction in our unit production costs. We have also taken a disciplined approach to future growth and reduced spend on new energy and exploration as we prioritise delivering sanctioned projects.

“A highlight was the ongoing exceptional performance of our Senegal Project, which marked one year since first oil in June 2024. In just the first half of 2025, Sangomar has generated revenue nearing $1 billion, with gross production of 100 thousand barrels per day. Proved reserves have also been added, following positive early field performance. Sangomar’s success has showcased Woodside’s world-class project execution and operational capabilities.

“Our excellence in project delivery was further demonstrated in the first half. The Scarborough Energy Project in Western Australia is 86% complete and targeting first LNG cargo in the second half of 2026. Our Trion Project offshore Mexico is 35% complete and targeting first oil in 2028.

“In April we took a final investment decision on Louisiana LNG, positioning Woodside as a global LNG powerhouse able to meet growing customer demand in the Pacific and Atlantic Basins. The Project’s compelling value proposition was reinforced with key infrastructure, offtake, and gas supply agreements signed with high-quality partners. This included completion of the sell-down of a 40% interest in Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC to Stonepeak for $5.7 billion, which will see Stonepeak contribute 75% of the expected Project capital expenditure over both 2025 and 2026.

“We continue to receive strong interest from high-quality potential partners as we explore further sell-downs of Louisiana LNG. This highlights the distinct value Woodside offers, with our business model well positioned to deliver compelling long-term value in the US LNG market, further differentiated by our extensive LNG experience, portfolio marketing capabilities, and balance sheet strength.

“Further strengthening our operational capabilities and subsequent to the period, we agreed to assume operatorship of the Bass Strait assets offshore Victoria from ExxonMobil. This agreement creates flexibility for future development opportunities through existing infrastructure.

“Safety remains at the forefront of everything we do. We marked significant safety milestones across our global portfolio over the period including 100,000 hours worked across two major turnarounds at the North West Shelf Project in Western Australia with no lost-time injuries. Our outstanding safety record at Sangomar continued, with no recordable injuries during the Project’s first year of operations.”

Calculated based on Woodside’s closing share price on 30 June 2025 of A$23.63 ($15.45) and a USD:AUD exchange rate of 0.6537.

Capital management

Woodside’s capital management framework provides us with the flexibility to optimise value and shareholder returns delivered from our portfolio of opportunities.

Interim dividend and dividend reinvestment plan

A 2025 fully franked interim dividend of 53 US cps has been determined, representing an annualised dividend yield of 6.9%.18 The total amount of the interim dividend payment is $1,006 million which represents 80% of underlying NPAT for the first half of 2025.19

The dividend reinvestment plan remains suspended.

Liquidity and balance sheet

In H1 2025, Woodside generated $3,339 million of cash flow from operating activities and delivered positive free cash flow of $272 million, which includes the $1,870 million in proceeds received from the sell-down of Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC.19,20

During this period, Woodside undertook the following financing activities:

 

   

Raised $3,500 million in the US market through a multi-tranche SEC-registered bonds issue in May 2025, consisting of $500 million three-year bonds, $1,250 million five-year bonds, $500 million seven-year bonds, and $1,250 million ten-year bonds.

 

   

Refinanced $1,200 million of syndicated revolving facilities, with $600 million now maturing in June 2028 and the remaining $600 million in June 2030.

 

   

Repaid a $1,000 million ten-year US bond that matured.

At the end of the period, Woodside had cash and cash equivalents of $4,880 million, liquidity of $8,430 million, and drawn debt of $12,050 million, including $800 million of ten-year bonds due in September 2026.19

Woodside’s gearing at the end of the first half was 19.5%, within our target range of 10 to 20%.19 Woodside’s gearing may at times fall outside this target range as the balance sheet is managed through the investment cycle.

Woodside’s commitment to an investment-grade credit rating remains unchanged and supports our aim of providing sustainable returns to shareholders, both now from our strong existing business and in the future from our growth opportunities, in accordance with Woodside’s capital allocation framework.

Commodity price risk management

As at 30 June 2025, Woodside has placed oil price hedges for:

 

   

Approximately 30 MMboe of 2025 production at an average price of $78.7 per barrel, of which approximately 58% has been delivered.

 

   

A total of 10 MMboe of 2026 production at an average price of approximately $70.1 per barrel.

Woodside has also placed a number of hedges for Corpus Christi LNG volumes. These hedges are Henry Hub and Title Transfer Facility (TTF) commodity swaps. Approximately 94% of Corpus Christi volumes for the remainder of 2025 and 87% of 2026 volumes have been hedged.

Embedded commodity derivative

In 2023, Woodside entered a revised long-term gas sale and purchase agreement with Perdaman. A component of the selling price is linked to the price of urea, creating an embedded commodity derivative in the contract. The fair value of the embedded derivative is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

 
18 

Calculated based on Woodside’s closing share price on 30 June 2025 of A$23.63 ($15.45) and a USD:AUD exchange rate of 0.6537.

19 

These are alternative performance measures which are non-IFRS measures that are unaudited. Refer to Alternative Performance Measures on pages 55 – 57 and Non-IFRS Measures on page 63 for more information.

20 

Cash flow from operating activities less cash flow from investing activities, adjusted for the capital contribution from Stonepeak for the development of Louisiana LNG.

 

5 | Half-Year Report 2025    LOGO


During the period, Woodside reassessed the embedded derivative calculation to factor in current market conditions and pricing inputs that reflect the long-term nature of the contract and associated market. Updates to the valuation model inputs include:

 

   

30-day average pricing assumptions and longer-term external pricing forecasts to reflect the long-term nature of the contract; and

 

   

longer-term historical data excluding extreme volatility periods, to reflect typical market conditions.

As there is no long-term urea forward curve, TTF continues to be used as a proxy to simulate the value of the derivative over the life of the contract. For the half-year ended 30 June 2025, an unrealised gain of $162 million has been recognised through other income.

Australian operations

Pluto LNG

Pluto LNG is a gas processing facility in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, comprising an offshore platform and one onshore LNG processing train.

Woodside’s share of production in H1 2025 was 25.5 MMboe. This was a 5.2% decrease compared with H1 2024 due to unplanned outages. This decrease was partially offset by production through the Pluto-Karratha Gas Plant Interconnector, with 5.6 MMboe of Pluto production processed at Karratha Gas Plant through the Interconnector.

In H1 2025, production from the PLA-08 well commenced, enhancing deliverability and extending plateau production. Woodside also secured secondary environmental approval enabling development of the XNA-03 well through existing infrastructure to support sustained production.

Woodside is operator and holds a 90% participating interest.

Woodside Solar

Woodside is progressing a potential opportunity to reduce gross Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions at Pluto LNG by utilising solar energy from the proposed Woodside Solar Project.

Woodside Solar final investment decision and first solar energy import timing depend on securing access to proposed new common-user transmission infrastructure that will be required to transmit renewable energy to Pluto LNG and the finalisation of associated commercial agreements. The development of this infrastructure is being led by the Western Australian Government and the APA Group.

North West Shelf Project

The North West Shelf Project (NWS) consists of three offshore platforms and the onshore Karratha Gas Plant (KGP) which includes four, previously five, operating onshore LNG processing trains and two domestic gas trains.

Woodside’s share of production in H1 2025 was 15.1 MMboe. This was a 23.0% decrease compared with H1 2024 due to reservoir decline, planned maintenance at the Goodwyn Alpha platform, and cyclone activity.

In H1 2025, the NWS Joint Venture participants approved long lead items for the Greater Western Flank Phase 4 Project, a five-well subsea tie-back to existing NWS offshore facilities, with final investment decision targeted for the second half of 2025.

After 40 years of operations, the NWS is entering a period of production decline. KGP will progressively have increased processing ullage due to natural field decline, despite the ongoing processing of third-party gas. To optimise operations, the NWS permanently retired LNG Train 2 in H1 2025. This retirement resulted in a reduction of KGP’s production capacity from 16.9 Mtpa to 14.3 Mtpa.

Subsequent to the period, the Lambert West development well was successfully drilled, subsea infrastructure was installed and startup commenced. The Project will sustain production from the Angel Platform.

The regulatory approval processes continued to progress for the NWS Project Extension, which will support long-term operations and processing of future third-party gas resources at KGP. A proposed approval was issued by the Australian Government on the NWS Project Extension. Woodside and the NWS Joint Venture are continuing to consult with the Australian Government and assess the proposed conditions as part of the proposed approval.

Woodside is operator and holds a 33.33% participating interest.

Following completion of the asset swap agreement with Chevron announced in 2024, Woodside’s participating interest will increase to 50%. The asset swap remains on track for completion in 2026.21

 
21 

Completion of the transaction is subject to conditions precedent. See “Woodside simplifies portfolio and unlocks long-term value” announced 19 December 2024 for details concerning the Australian asset swap.

 

7 | Half-Year Report 2025    LOGO


Wheatstone and Julimar-Brunello

Wheatstone is an LNG processing facility near Onslow, Western Australia, comprising an offshore production platform and two onshore LNG production trains. It processes gas from several offshore gas fields, including Julimar and Brunello.

Woodside’s share of Wheatstone production in H1 2025 was 6.3 MMboe. This was a 8.6% increase compared with H1 2024 due to higher reliability.

The Julimar Phase 3 Project is a four-well tie-back to the existing Julimar field production system. Subsea construction began during the half, and subsequent to the period the drilling campaign commenced. The Project is expected to startup in 2026.

Woodside is operator and holds a 65% participating interest in the Julimar-Brunello fields.

Woodside holds a 13% non-operating participating interest in the Wheatstone Project.

Following completion of the asset swap agreement with Chevron announced in 2024, Woodside will no longer have an interest in Wheatstone and Julimar-Brunello. The asset swap with Chevron remains on track for completion in 2026.22

Bass Strait

Bass Strait is located in the south east of Australia and produces gas through a network of offshore platforms, pipelines and onshore processing facilities. The Bass Strait assets include the Gippsland Basin Joint Venture (GBJV) and the Kipper Unit Joint Venture (KUJV).

Woodside’s share of production from Bass Strait was 9.1 MMboe in H1 2025, a 7.1% increase from H1 2024 predominantly due to higher domestic gas market demand.

In H1 2025, Woodside approved investment in the Kipper 1B Project and the Turrum Phase 3 Project. Through these Projects, Woodside is expected to add more than 100 PJ of gas (Woodside share) to the south eastern Australian domestic gas market.

Subsequent to the period, Woodside agreed to assume operatorship of the Bass Strait assets from ExxonMobil Australia (ExxonMobil). Woodside has identified four potential development wells that could deliver up to 200 PJ of sales gas to the market. Under the agreement with ExxonMobil, Woodside can solely develop these opportunities through the Bass Strait infrastructure, subject to further technical maturation and a final investment decision. This potential production has been identified from within the existing contingent resource opportunity set.23 The transaction is subject to conditions precedent, including obtaining regulatory approvals, and is expected to complete in 2026.24

Woodside holds a 50% non-operating participating interest in the GBJV and a 32.5% non-operating participating interest in the KUJV. Upon completion of the agreement with ExxonMobil, Woodside will become operator, but there will be no change to Woodside’s participating interests.

Other Australian oil and gas assets

Woodside operates three floating production storage and offtake (FPSO) facilities off the north west coast of Western Australia. These are the Ngujima-Yin FPSO (Woodside participating interest: 60%), Pyrenees FPSO (Woodside participating interest: 40% in WA-43-L and 71.4% in WA-42-L) and Okha FPSO (Woodside participating interest: 50%).

Woodside’s share of production from the FPSO assets was 3.6 MMboe in H1 2025. This was a 20.0% increase from H1 2024 primarily due to the planned five-yearly Pyrenees FPSO maintenance turnaround in H1 2024 and the Pyrenees shut-in following a subsea produced-water leak at the facility in H1 2024.

Macedon (Woodside participating interest: 71.4%), also operated by Woodside, is a gas project located near Onslow, Western Australia which produces pipeline gas for the Western Australian domestic gas market.

Woodside’s share of production from Macedon was 4.2 MMboe, a 7.7% increase from H1 2024 driven by reservoir performance and strong demand. The Macedon facility delivered approximately 16% of the Western Australian domestic gas market supply in H1 2025.

International operations

Sangomar

The Sangomar Field Development Phase 1 is a deepwater project including a stand-alone FPSO facility moored approximately 100 km offshore Senegal and subsea infrastructure that is designed to enable subsequent development phases.

Woodside’s share of production was 14.4 MMboe in H1 2025. First oil was achieved in June 2024, marking the delivery of Senegal’s first offshore oil project.

In H1 2025, Sangomar achieved exceptional production, averaging 100 Mbbl/d (100% basis, 80 Mbbl/d Woodside share) at 98.6% reliability, with production from the field remaining at plateau for the half-year. The field is expected to come off plateau in Q3 2025.

Based on a positive response observed in the S400 oil producer wells from water injection, contingent resources were migrated to developed reserves during the period. The reserve addition was 7.1 million barrels to proved (1P) reserves and 16.1 million barrels to proved plus probable (2P) reserves, Woodside share. Subsequent to the period, strong field performance in the S500 reservoirs resulted in an additional 18.4 million barrels of proved (1P) reserves being added.25 As a result, Woodside expects Sangomar’s depreciation, depletion and amortisation (DD&A) rate to further reduce in the second half of 2025.

Sales of the initial Sangomar crude cargoes are receiving strong interest from European, North American and Asian refiners. As at 30 June 2025, 36 cargoes were loaded and delivered.

Woodside has filed an action with the High Court of Dakar and a request for arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes disputing a tax assessment of approximately $75 million from the Senegalese tax authorities.26 The majority of the tax claims relate to the application of an exemption that applied during the project development phase.

Woodside is operator and has an 82% participating interest in the Project.

Shenzi

Shenzi is a conventional offshore oil and gas field developed through a tension leg platform located in the United States.

Woodside’s share of production in H1 2025 was 4.7 MMboe. This was an 9.6% decrease compared with H1 2024 due to natural field decline and planned maintenance downtime.

Subsequent to the period, Woodside completed the divestment of its Greater Angostura assets to Perenco for $259 million.27 The divestment is inclusive of Woodside’s interest in the shallow water Angostura and Ruby offshore oil and gas fields, associated production facilities, and onshore terminal.

Marketing and Trading

The marketing segment’s EBIT in H1 2025 was $144 million, representing approximately 8% of total EBIT. This reflected the optimisation activities and incremental value generated through the marketing, trading and shipping of Woodside’s oil and gas and through third-party volumes.

In H1 2025, Woodside signed three long-term LNG sales and purchase agreements (SPAs). This included two long-term SPAs with Uniper for the supply of 1.0 Mtpa from Louisiana LNG LLC for up to 13 years from its commercial operations date (COD) and up to 1.0 Mtpa from Woodside’s global portfolio, commencing with Louisiana LNG’s COD and extending until 2039. Woodside also signed an SPA with China Resources Gas International Limited for supply of approximately 0.6 million tonnes of LNG per year over 15 years on a delivered basis, commencing in 2027.

Woodside signed non-binding heads of agreements with JERA Co. and PETRONAS. The first with JERA Co., is for the sale and purchase of three LNG cargoes (approximately 0.2 Mtpa) on a delivered ex-ship basis during Japan’s winter months from 2027 for a period of five years. The second with PETRONAS, is for the supply of 1.0 Mtpa of LNG to Malaysia from 2028 for a period of 15 years.

The execution of these agreements highlights sustained global demand for Woodside’s LNG and reinforces the strategic advantage of our diversified portfolio in driving long-term growth and value.

Oil sales increased in H1 2025 from H1 2024, reflecting a full six months of production from the Sangomar field in Senegal. A total of 19 Sangomar cargoes were loaded in the period (14 MMbbl Woodside share). The first cargo to be sold for domestic refining in Senegal was successfully delivered during the period.

A record quantity of trucked LNG, approximately 1,233 TJ and equivalent to 1,200 trailers, was delivered in H1 2025 to customers in northern Western Australia. Since the commencement of operations at the Pluto LNG Truck Loading Facility in 2019, Woodside has delivered more than 4,400 trailers of LNG (approximately 4,400 TJ), offering a lower-carbon alternative to diesel.

On the east coast of Australia, and in accordance with its obligations under its Ministerial Exemption to the Gas Market Code, Woodside commenced an expression of interest for 30 PJ of Bass Strait supply across 2026 and 2027. Customer responses are in the process of being reviewed with initial offers to be issued in early July.

Woodside continued its marketing activities to support the offtake of lower-carbon ammonia from the Beaumont New Ammonia Project.

Woodside SPAs with Commonwealth LNG, executed in September 2022, were terminated due to the failure of Commonwealth LNG to achieve key milestones, including FID, by contractual long stop dates.

Hydrogen Refueller @H2Perth

The Hydrogen Refueller @H2Perth is a self-contained hydrogen production, storage and refuelling station located in Perth, Western Australia.30

Construction activities commenced for the Project with major equipment packages including electrolysers and compressors installed on site. Major civil works are near complete and both electrical cable and tubing installation have commenced.

Woodside is targeting ready for startup in Q4 2025, with first hydrogen production expected in the first half of 2026.

Decommissioning

Woodside continued execution of planned decommissioning activities in H1 2025, spending approximately $565 million across its portfolio.

Woodside has progressed planned decommissioning activities across the Enfield, Griffin and Stybarrow fields, offshore north west Western Australia, as well as the Minerva field, offshore Victoria. The retrieval of the Echo Yodel umbilical is expected to commence in H2 2025.

In H1 2025, Woodside concluded the ten-well Stybarrow plugging campaign and successfully completed the plug and abandonment of the three remaining wells at the Minerva field.

In February, final infrastructure was recovered from Enfield, concluding a multi-year decommissioning program that included permanently plugging and abandoning all 18 Enfield wells, recovering and deconstructing the Nganhurra riser turret mooring and removing flexible flowlines, umbilicals and other subsea structures. Enfield is the first project that Woodside has taken from exploration through development and operations, to decommissioning.

Woodside experienced a Tier 1 process safety event when unexpected fluids were released during flushing activities of a Griffin subsea flowline. Water quality monitoring identified no impact on the environment.

Woodside is evaluating decommissioning work plans for Minerva, Stybarrow and Griffin. The as-left condition on some closed sites has continued to present challenges for safe and efficient execution of decommissioning and learnings are being applied to improve planning and execution. These challenges are the primary driver of a $445 million pre-tax ($218 million post-tax) restoration expense being recognised in the profit and loss in the half-year results.

At Bass Strait, the Gippsland Basin Joint Venture has safely completed approximately A$2,500 million (100% share) of early decommissioning works, including the plug and abandonment of over 200 wells. This includes the completion of plugging the Bream B and Kingfish A platform wells in H1 2025.

Detailed engineering and execution planning, including submission of primary and secondary environmental approvals to regulators for assessment, is well advanced for the Bass Strait offshore platform removal campaign planned for 2027.

The Bonaparte CCS Assessment Joint Venture commenced pre-FEED and was awarded Major Project Status by the Australian Government.

Woodside continues to assess the South East Australia CCS opportunity.

Carbon credits portfolio

Woodside continues to acquire carbon credits through both market purchases and the development of its own carbon origination projects.36

During H1 2025, environmental planting activities under Woodside’s Native Reforestation Project, including site preparation and seedling installation, were carried out on Woodside-owned properties in Western Australia and New South Wales. Approximately 2 million biodiverse seedlings are forecast to be planted in Western Australia and approximately 500,000 in New South Wales in 2025. These activities were 50% complete by the end of H1 2025.

Woodside-funded international carbon origination projects in Paraguay and Senegal progressed during the period. Woodside is expected to receive approximately 2.4 million and 1.8 million carbon credits respectively over 40 years.

Climate and Sustainability

Health, personal and process safety

In H1 2025, the year-to-date lost time frequency rate was 0.26 compared with 0.47 for full-year 2024, and the total recordable injury rate was 2.02 compared to 2.44 recorded for full-year 2024. There were no fatalities or permanent injuries recorded in H1 2025.

In H1 2025, Woodside experienced a Tier 1 process safety event when unexpected fluids were released during flushing activities of a Griffin subsea flowline. Water quality monitoring identified no impact to the environment.

Woodside is focussed on embedding simplified safety processes, implementing improvements in the engineering systems to manage hardware, and promoting a learning culture through the Field Leadership Program.

Climate

Woodside is on track to meet its corporate 2025 net equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target.37 During the half, achievements included the high reliability of the Sangomar gas injection system which lead to reduced flaring emissions and improvements at KGP that reduced the assist gas for the operational flares and improved the efficiency of the domestic gas compressor operating envelope.

 
35 

Completion of the transaction is subject to conditions precedent. See “Woodside simplifies portfolio and unlocks long-term value” announced 19 December 2024 for details concerning the Australian asset swap.

36 

Origination refers to carbon offset projects developed by Woodside or third-party project developers, characterised by (i) the provision by Woodside of up-front investment or funding; (ii) Woodside either being a majority participant in the project or a recipient of carbon credits from the project (or both); and (iii) the acceptance of risk by Woodside in relation to carbon credit delivery.

37 

Target is for net equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions reduction relative to a starting base of 6.32 Mt CO2-e which is representative of the gross annual average equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions over 2016-2020 and which may be adjusted (up or down) for potential equity changes in producing or sanctioned assets with a FID prior to 2021. Net equity emissions include the utilisation of carbon credits as offsets. This means net equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions for the 12-month period ending 31 December 2025 are targeted to be 15% lower than the starting base.

 

19 | Half-Year Report 2025    LOGO


Woodside submitted its Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 Implementation Plan to the United Nations Environment Program. Half-year activities included initiation of a methane leak detection and reporting program at the Goodwyn A Platform, and the testing of flare monitoring equipment at the Pluto LNG facility and KGP.

First Nations cultural heritage and engagement

During H1 2025, Woodside continued to engage with multiple Traditional Owner representative bodies in Australia to discuss current and potential future activities. This included consultation on the Goodwyn Alpha Geophysical and Geotechnical Surveys and Okha Operations Environment Plans.

Woodside completed a planned annual cultural heritage audit of North West Shelf Project leases in collaboration with Traditional Custodians.

Subsequent to the period, Woodside welcomed the inscription of the Murujuga Cultural Landscape on the World Heritage List by UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee.

Environment and biodiversity

In H1 2025, there were no significant environmental impacts from our operations. Woodside continued to implement a robust and systematic approach to environmental management of our activities.

To support biodiversity positive outcomes in the regions and areas in which we undertake activities, Woodside is working closely with local partners to identify and deliver measurable positive biodiversity outcomes across a range of locations in Western Australia and the United States.38

In H1 2025, Woodside finalised Biodiversity Management Plans for Trion, Beaumont New Ammonia and Louisiana LNG.

Local content

In H1 2025, the Pluto Train 1 Modifications Project awarded 47 new contracts to Pilbara based businesses. Of the 47 new contracts awarded, 45 were with Karratha businesses and 10 were awarded to Indigenous businesses. For the same period, 9 new local subcontracts were awarded in the Pilbara region for Pluto Train 2.

Woodside also extended its agreement with North West Alliance for the management of waste from Woodside’s onshore and offshore facilities. The Pilbara-based joint venture is 50% Indigenous owned, and Woodside is one of its longest contracting customers in Karratha (more than a decade).

In Senegal, operational insurance valued at $13 million was successfully placed with local insurance companies, in partnership with international reinsurers.

A contracting plan has been put in place to support operations planning for Trion. The plan includes strategies for compliance with local content requirements, including a framework to support local companies through specialised supplier development programs, networking, and integration. A key element of the strategy for local content is collaboration with Project participants to leverage potential suppliers and share synergies.

Social contribution

Woodside published its 2024 Social Investment Impact Report in May 2025. The report highlights the positive impacts of Woodside’s A$35.4 million social contribution in 2024, which was directed through strategic partnerships, philanthropy initiatives, employee volunteering, and payments required by government and First Nations agreements.

Woodside defines biodiversity positive as a project or investment that has measurable benefits to 1) threatened or keystone species; or 2) restores or regenerates natural habitat; or 3) removes threatening processes or enhances ecological function. A keystone species is a species that has a disproportionately large effect on its natural environment relative to its abundance.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

Significant changes in the current reporting period

The financial performance and position of the Group were particularly affected by the following events and transactions during the reporting period:

 

   

On 28 March 2025, the Group and Perenco Energies International Limited (Perenco) entered into an agreement for Perenco to acquire the Greater Angostura assets in Trinidad and Tobago. The divestment includes Woodside’s 45% interest in the Angostura field and 68.46% interest in the Ruby field. The transaction completed on 11 July 2025, with an effective date of 1 January 2025. As a result, as at 30 June 2025 $447 million of assets have been reclassified as assets held for sale and $416 million of liabilities have been reclassified as liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale (refer to Note B.5).

 

   

On 7 April 2025, the Group and Stonepeak Wallaby I Acquiror LP (Stonepeak) entered into an agreement for Stonepeak to acquire a 40% interest in Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC, a subsidiary within the Group. The transaction completed on 25 June 2025 with the Group continuing to retain control of Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC. As at 30 June 2025, $2,140 million has been recognised as non-controlling interest within equity based on Stonepeak’s proportionate share of total capital contributions made to date, and $270 million has been recognised in other reserves for the difference in proceeds received and the non-controlling interest recognised (refer to Note B.5).

 

   

On 29 April 2025, the Group approved an FID to develop the Louisiana LNG Project. Upon FID, the Group recognised a deferred tax asset of $182 million (refer to Note A.5).

 

   

In March and April 2025, the Group repaid, renewed and drew down on various debt facilities. In May 2025, the Group issued unsecured SEC-registered bonds amounting to $3,500 million (refer to Note C.2).

 

   

As at 30 June 2025, an impairment indicator was identified on the H2OK Project following the Group’s decision to exit the Project. As a result, the Group recognised an impairment loss before tax of $143 million (refer to Note B.6).

 

   

During the period, the Group recognised a restoration expense of $445 million primarily due to updated closure cost estimates and economic assumptions for Minerva, Stybarrow and Griffin (refer to Note A.1).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the half-year ended 30 June 2025

 

About these statements

Woodside Energy Group Ltd (Woodside or the Group) is a for-profit entity limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (in the form of Woodside American Depositary Shares). The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Australia Operations, International Operations, Marketing and Trading, Projects, Decommissioning, Exploration and Development and New Energy and Carbon Solutions sections.

The condensed consolidated half-year financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 19 August 2025.

Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated half-year financial statements are condensed general purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard (AASB) 134 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Australian Corporations Act 2001. These condensed consolidated half-year financial statements also comply with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The condensed consolidated half-year financial statements do not include all notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated half-year financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements within the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024 (2024 Financial Statements) and any public announcements made by Woodside during the period ended 30 June 2025 in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 and the relevant ASX and NYSE Listing Rules.

The Group’s accounting policies are materially consistent with those disclosed in the Group’s 2024 Financial Statements. Adoption of new or amended standards and interpretations effective 1 January 2025 did not result in any significant changes to the Group’s accounting policies. Refer to Note E.2 for more details.

The significant accounting estimates and judgements are consistent with those disclosed in the 2024 Financial Statements. Estimates have been revised, where required, to reflect current market conditions including the impact of climate change. Updated estimates used for business combination, restoration provision and embedded commodity derivatives are disclosed in Notes B.4, D.2 and D.3 respectively; these assumptions could change in the future. New estimates and judgements relating to the disposal and sell-down of assets are disclosed in Note B.5.

Currency

The functional and presentation currency of Woodside and all its material subsidiaries is US dollars.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency of the transacting entity at the exchange rates ruling at the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at that date. Exchange differences in the consolidated financial statements are taken to the income statement.

Rounding of amounts

The amounts contained in the condensed consolidated half-year financial statements have been rounded to the nearest million dollars under the option available to the Group under Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 dated 24 March 2016, unless otherwise stated.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the half-year ended 30 June 2025

 

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated half-year financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments and certain other financial assets and financial liabilities, which have been measured at fair value or amortised cost, adjusted for changes in fair value attributable to the risks that are being hedged in effective hedge relationships. Where not carried at fair value, if the carrying value of financial assets and financial liabilities does not approximate their fair value, the fair value has been included in the notes to the condensed consolidated half-year financial statements.

The condensed consolidated half-year financial statements comprise the financial results of the Group for the period ended 30 June 2025. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date at which the Group ceases to have control.

The material subsidiaries of the Group apply the same reporting period and accounting policies as the parent company in preparation of the condensed consolidated half-year financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits and losses arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full.

Non-controlling interests are allocated their share of the net profit after tax in the condensed consolidated income statement; their share of other comprehensive income, net of tax, in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income; and are presented within equity in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position, separately from parent shareholders’ equity.

Comparative information

The condensed consolidated half-year financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous period. Where required, a reclassification of items in the financial statements of the previous period has been made in accordance with the classification of items in the condensed consolidated half-year financial statements of the current period.

Reporting segments

Refer to the 2024 Financial Statements for details of the Group’s operating segment information.

The global operations effective income tax rate (EITR) of 21.0% (2024: 6.9%) is calculated as the Group’s income tax expense divided by profit before income tax. The underlying EITR is 30.9% when excluding the recognition of a $182 million deferred tax asset as a result of the Louisiana LNG FID and the $113 million post-tax H2OK impairment loss. At 30 June 2024, the Group’s normalised EITR was 25.6% when adjusting for one-off tax events.

B.4 Business combination

Acquisition of OCI Clean Ammonia Holding B.V. (OCI)

Refer to the 2024 Financial Statements for details of the acquisition of OCI Clean Ammonia Holding B.V. (subsequently renamed Beaumont New Ammonia Holding B.V.). Except for the changes noted below, the disclosures are consistent with Note B.5 of the 2024 financial statements.

On 5 August 2024, Woodside entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of OCI and its Beaumont New Ammonia Project for an all-cash consideration of $2,350 million. The Project is under construction and is subject to cost, schedule and performance guarantees from OCI N.V. The transaction was completed on 30 September 2024 and accounted for as a business combination.

The Group had 12 months from the transaction completion date to make adjustments to the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and the resultant value of goodwill. As at 30 June 2025, the Group finalised the purchase price allocation based on updated information which has resulted in goodwill of $255 million, a net increase of $86 million from the amount reported at 31 December 2024.

B.4 Business combination (continued)

Key estimates and judgements

 

(a)

Nature of acquisition

Judgement is required to determine if the acquisition is a business combination due to the stage of completion of the project and the timing of transfer of employees.

The project is under construction, with agreements in place to complete construction and transfer a fully operational asset together with a workforce to the Group. The agreements were in place at acquisition date and provided Woodside with control over the future economic benefits of the project, and the necessary inputs and processes to create outputs, meeting the definition of a business combination.

 

(b)

Fair value determination for net assets acquired

Judgement is required to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, which can have a material impact on resultant goodwill. This includes the use of a cash flow model to estimate the expected future cash flows and the discount rate used.

On acquisition date, the reproduction cost method was used to fair value the property, plant and equipment in its construction phase. The reproduction cost method calculates the cost to construct an equivalent asset with the same specifications.

 

(c)

Contingent consideration

Judgement is required to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration which includes consideration on the construction progress, estimates to complete compared to the schedule and performance guarantees.

B.5 Disposal and sell-down of assets

Sell-down of Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC to Stonepeak Wallaby I Acquiror LP

On 7 April 2025, the Group and Stonepeak Wallaby I Acquiror LP (Stonepeak) entered into an agreement for Stonepeak to acquire a 40% interest in Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC, a subsidiary within the Group. The transaction completed on 25 June 2025, with an effective date of 1 January 2025. Stonepeak will provide up to $5.7 billion towards the expected capital expenditure for the foundation development of Louisiana LNG on an accelerated basis, contributing 75% of the expected project capital expenditure in both 2025 and 2026. A payment of $1,870 million was received on the transaction completion date.

Under the agreement, the Group still controls Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC, while Stonepeak now holds a non-controlling interest. Transactions that do not result in the Group’s loss of control are treated as equity transactions. When ownership percentages change, the carrying amounts of both controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted based on their relative interest in the subsidiary. Any difference between the adjustment to non-controlling interests and consideration received is recorded in a separate equity reserve. Stonepeak’s non-controlling interest percentage is based on the proportion of total contributions to date and will fluctuate during the construction phase. The non-controlling interest percentage is expected to revert to 40% when the project starts generating revenue.

The proceeds of $1,870 million received from Stonepeak are included in contributions from non-controlling interests in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as at 30 June 2025. As at 30 June 2025, $2,140 million has been recognised as non-controlling interest, and $270 million has been recognised in other reserves for the difference in proceeds received and the non-controlling interest recognised.

Key estimates and judgements

 

(a)

Control

Under AASB/IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, consolidation is required when an investor controls an investee. If a parent loses control of a subsidiary, the parent is required to derecognise the assets and liabilities of the former subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost. Judgement is required to determine if the Group continues to control Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC after the sell-down.

The Group continues to control and consolidate Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC as it has the power to direct the relevant activities and decisions requiring majority approval through its roles as operator, construction manager, and majority interest.

 

(b)

Classification of non-controlling interest as equity or liability

Judgement is required to determine if the classification of the non-controlling interest is either equity or liability based on the Group’s contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset.

Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC is not required to distribute dividends unless Woodside Energy Group Ltd declares dividends. As the Group can indefinitely defer payment of the Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC dividend based on the terms in the agreement, the non-controlling interest in Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC is classified as equity in the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements. While the terms grant the Group discretion to avoid distributing dividends from Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC, the exercise of this discretion may increase the non-controlling interest’s entitlement to future discretionary distributions.

B.5 Disposal and sell-down of assets (continued)

Disposal of Greater Angostura assets to Perenco Energies International Limited

On 28 March 2025, the Group and Perenco Energies International Limited (Perenco) entered into an agreement for Perenco to acquire the Greater Angostura assets in Trinidad and Tobago for $259 million, which is made up of a base purchase price of $206 million plus completion adjustments for working capital and interest. The divestment includes Woodside’s 45% interest in the Angostura field and 68.46% in the Ruby field along with the associated production facilities and onshore terminal.

As at 30 June 2025, the Group has reclassified $447 million of assets, being the carrying value of the Angostura and Ruby fields within the International segment, to assets held for sale. Liabilities of $416 million have been reclassified to liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale. No impairment of assets occurred on reclassification to held for sale.

The following assets and liabilities were reclassified as held for sale as at 30 June 2025:

The transaction completed on 11 July 2025 (refer to Note E.3), with an effective date of 1 January 2025. The Group no longer holds any interest in the Angostura and Ruby fields. The full financial effect of the transaction is under assessment.

B.6 Impairment of exploration and evaluation, property, plant and equipment and goodwill

Impairment of H2OK liquid hydrogen project

As at 30 June 2025, an impairment indicator was identified on the H2OK Project following the Group’s decision to exit the Project. Based on management’s judgement, the estimated recoverable value of the project’s inventory and property, plant and equipment are expected to be less than the carrying value. As a result, an impairment loss before tax of $143 million was recognised in the New energy/Corporate segment of Note A.1 for the half-year ended 30 June 2025.

Of the 30 MMboe of 2025 oil production previously hedged at an average price of $78.7 per barrel, approximately 58% was delivered by 30 June 2025. A total of 10 MMboe of 2026 oil production was hedged at an average price of approximately $70.1 per barrel.

 

   

The Group also has a hedging program for Corpus Christi LNG volumes. These hedges are Henry Hub (HH) and Title Transfer Facility (TTF) commodity swaps. Approximately 94% of Corpus Christi volumes for the remainder of 2025 and 87% of 2026 volumes have been hedged.

 

   

Through foreign exchange forward contracts, the Group hedged the Australian dollar to US dollar exchange rate for a portion of the Australian dollar denominated capital expenditure expected to be incurred for the Scarborough Energy Project development.

Embedded commodity derivative

In 2023, the Group entered into a revised long-term gas sale and purchase contract (GSPA) with Perdaman, where a component of the selling price is linked to the price of urea. The contract was assessed to contain an embedded commodity derivative that is required to be separated and recognised at fair value through profit and loss. The carrying value of the embedded derivative at 30 June 2025 amounted to a net liability of $187 million (31 December 2024: net liability of $349 million). The derivative is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date. For the six-month period ended 30 June 2025, an unrealised gain of $162 million has been recognised through other income (30 June 2024: unrealised loss of $153 million through other expenses).

D.3 Other financial assets and liabilities (continued)

Fair value

Except for the other financial assets and other financial liabilities set out in this note, there are no other material financial assets or financial liabilities carried at fair value. Other financial assets and other financial liabilities set out in this note are classified as Level 2 on the fair value hierarchy with market observable inputs, with the exception of the embedded commodity derivative which has been classified as Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy with no market observable inputs. Refer to key estimates and judgements for further details. During the period, there were no reclassification between the fair value hierarchy levels.

Except for the revised valuation inputs for the embedded commodity derivative, there were no changes to the Group’s valuation processes, valuation techniques and types of inputs used in the fair value measurements during the period.

Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities expose its financial instruments to a variety of market risks, including foreign exchange, commodity price and interest rate risk. The half-year financial report does not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the Annual Report and, as such, should be read in conjunction with the Group’s 2024 Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in risk management policies since 31 December 2024. Refer to the embedded commodity derivative key estimates and judgements section below for the sensitivity assessment on discount rates and pricing.

Key estimates and judgements

(a) Change in embedded commodity derivative valuation inputs

The Group has reassessed the valuation inputs of the Perdaman embedded derivative factoring current market conditions and as a result revised pricing inputs that reflect the long-term nature of the contract and external market data. The change has been applied from 1 January 2025, resulting in an increase in fair value gains of $18 million for the half-year ended 30 June 2025. The effect in future periods is not disclosed because estimating it is impracticable.

(b) Embedded commodity derivative

The fair value of the Perdaman embedded derivative has been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The assessment requires management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast cash flows, discount rate, credit risk and volatility. These assumptions require significant judgement and are subject to risk and uncertainty, and hence changes in economic conditions can affect the assumptions. The present value of the embedded derivative was estimated using the assumptions set out below.

 

  -

Inflation rate – 2.5%.

 

  -

Discount rate – a pre-tax interest rate curve (range: 5.02% to 6.88%).

 

  -

Domestic gas pricing – forecast sales are subject to urea pricing. Price assumptions are based on the best market information available at measurement date and derived from short- and long-term views of global supply and demand, building upon past experience of the industry and consistent with external sources. The long-term urea price is determined with reference to the prevailing gas hub (TTF) prices available in the market.

The embedded derivative is most sensitive to changes in discount rates and pricing, which may result in unrealised gains or losses recognised in other income/expenses. The nominal impacts of the effects of changes to discount rate and long-term price assumptions are estimated as follows. The valuation is over a contract period of 20 years and the below change in assumptions applies a linear increase or decrease in inputs over the life of the contract. A spot increase is not represented by the sensitivity below.

Contingent liabilities relate predominantly to possible obligations whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events, and therefore the Group has not provided for such amounts in these financial statements. The Group operates in complex tax and legislative regimes. The amounts disclosed above include estimates made in relation to ongoing disputes with various tax and government authorities. Assessing a value of contingent liabilities requires a high degree of judgement. The contingent liabilities relating to tax matters are estimated based on notices received from authorities before interest and penalties. The possibility of further claims related to the same matters cannot be ruled out and the judicial processes may take extended periods to conclude. Additionally, there are a number of other claims and possible claims that have arisen in the course of business against entities in the Group, the outcome of which cannot be estimated at present and for which no amounts have been included in the table above.

The Group has contingent assets of $23 million as at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: $30 million).

E.2 New standards and interpretations

New and amended accounting standards adopted

A number of amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period. The Group did not make any significant changes to its accounting policies and did not make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these amended standards. These amendments did not materially impact the accounting policies or amounts disclosed in the half-year financial statements of the Group.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2025 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Group. These standards, amendments or interpretations are not expected to have a material impact to the Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions with the exception of AASB 18/IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which is currently in progress.

E.3 Events after the end of the reporting period

Completion of the disposal of Greater Angostura assets to Perenco

On 28 March 2025, the Group and Perenco entered into an agreement for Perenco to acquire the Greater Angostura assets in Trinidad and Tobago for $259 million, which is made up of a base purchase price of $206 million plus completion adjustments for working capital and interest. The transaction completed on 11 July 2025, with an effective date of 1 January 2025. The Group no longer holds any interest in the Angostura and Ruby fields. The full financial effect of the transaction is under assessment.

Operatorship of Bass Strait assets

On 29 July 2025, the Group has agreed with ExxonMobil Australia (ExxonMobil) to assume operatorship of the Bass Strait production assets, the Longford Gas Plant, the Long Island Point gas liquids processing facility and associated pipeline infrastructure. The Group’s and ExxonMobil’s equity interest in the Joint Venture’s assets and current decommissioning plans and provisions remain unchanged. The transaction is subject to conditions precedent including obtaining regulatory approvals, and is expected to complete in 2026.

Woodside will acquire ExxonMobil’s employing entity for the Bass Strait employees which includes employee related assets and liabilities. The employee expenses continue to be funded by the Bass Strait joint venture partners based on their equity interests. The acquisition of the employing entity is expected to be treated as a business combination and the full financial impact will be determined at completion.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual financial report in Australia.

Responsibilities of the directors for the half-year financial report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001, including giving a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the half-year financial report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2025 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Revenue from ordinary

activities

   Revenue from the sale of hydrocarbons, processing and services revenue and shipping and other revenue

Scope 1 greenhouse gas

emissions

   Direct greenhouse gas emissions. These occur from sources that are owned or controlled by the company, for example, emissions from combustion in owned or controlled boilers, furnaces, vehicles, etc.; emissions from chemical production in owned or controlled process equipment. Woodside estimates greenhouse gas emissions, energy values and global warming potentials are estimated in accordance with the relevant reporting regulations in the jurisdiction where the emissions occur (e.g. Australian national Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (nGER), US EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)). Australian regulatory reporting principles have been used for emissions in jurisdictions where regulations do not yet exist3

Scope 2 greenhouse gas

emissions

  

Electricity indirect greenhouse gas emissions. Scope 2 accounts for GHG emissions from the generation of purchased electricity consumed by the company. Purchased electricity is defined as electricity that is purchased or otherwise brought into the organisational boundary of the company. Scope 2 emissions physically occur at the facility where electricity is generated.

Woodside estimates greenhouse gas emissions, energy values and global warming potentials are estimated in accordance with the relevant reporting regulations in the jurisdiction where the emissions occur (e.g. Australian national Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (nGER), US EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)). Australian regulatory reporting principles have been used for emissions in jurisdictions where regulations do not yet exist3

Scope 3 greenhouse gas

emissions

  

Other indirect greenhouse gas emissions. Scope 3 is a reporting category that allows for the treatment of all other indirect emissions.

Scope 3 emissions are a consequence of the activities of the company but occur from sources not owned or controlled by the

company. Some examples of Scope 3 activities are extraction and production of purchased materials; transportation of

purchased fuels; and use of sold products and services. Please refer to the data table on page 72 of the Climate Transition

Action Plan and 2023 Progress Report for further information on the Scope 3 emissions categories reported by Woodside3

Starting base    Woodside uses a starting base of 6.32 Mt CO2-e which is representative of the gross annual average equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions over 2016-2020 and which may be adjusted (up or down) for potential equity changes in producing or sanctioned assets with a final investment decision prior to 2021. Net equity emissions include the utilisation of carbon credits as offsets

Sustainability (including

sustainable and

sustainably)

  

References to sustainability (including sustainable and sustainably) are used with reference to Woodside’s Sustainability

Committee and sustainability related Board policies, as well as in the context of Woodside’s aim to ensure its business is

sustainable from a long-term perspective, considering a range of factors including economic (including being able to sustain

our business in the long term by being low cost and profitable), environmental (including considering our environmental impact

and striving for a lower carbon portfolio), social (including supporting our license to operate), and regulatory (including ongoing

compliance with relevant legal obligations). Use of the terms ‘sustainability’, ‘sustainable’ and ‘sustainably’ is not intended to

imply that Woodside will have no adverse impact on the economy, environment, or society, or that Woodside will achieve any

particular economic, environmental, or social outcomes

Target   

Woodside uses this term to describe an intention to seek the achievement of an outcome, where Woodside considers that it

has developed a suitably defined plan or pathway to achieve that outcome

Tier 1 process safety event    A typical Tier 1 process safety event is loss of containment of hydrocarbons greater than 500 kg (in any one-hour period)

A 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.

Investors are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Actual results or performance may vary materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements. None of Woodside nor any of its related bodies corporate, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, advisers or representatives, nor any person named in this report or involved in the preparation of the information in this report, makes any representation, assurance, guarantee or warranty (either express or implied) as to the accuracy or likelihood of fulfilment of any forward-looking statement, or any outcomes, events or results expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement 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.

Past performance (including historical financial and operational information) is given for illustrative purposes only. It should not be relied on as, and is not necessarily, a reliable indicator of future performance, including future security prices.

Non-IFRS Measures

Throughout this report, a range of financial and non-financial measures are used to assess Woodside’s performance, including a number of financial measures that are not defined in, and have not been prepared in accordance with, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are not recognised measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS (Non-IFRS Financial Measures). These measures include EBIT, EBITDA excluding impairment, Gearing, Underlying NPAT, Average realised price, Unit production cost, Net debt, Liquidity, Free cash flow, Capital expenditure, Capital expenditure excluding Louisiana LNG, Exploration expenditure, Return on Equity, Return on average capital employed, Cash margin, Production cost margin, Other cash cost margin, Net tangible assets and Net tangible assets per ordinary security. These Non-IFRS Financial Measures are defined in the glossary on pages 64 – 66 of this report. A quantitative reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS can be found in the Alternative Performance Measures section of this report on pages 61 – 63.

Woodside’s management uses these measures to monitor Woodside’s financial performance alongside IFRS measures to improve the comparability of information between reporting periods and business units and Woodside believes that the Non-IFRS Financial Measures it presents provide a useful means through which to examine the underlying performance of its business.

Undue reliance should not be placed on the Non-IFRS Financial Measures contained in this report and these Non-IFRS Financial Measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance, financial position or cash flows reported in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS Financial Measures are not uniformly defined by all companies, including those in Woodside’s industry. Accordingly, they may not be comparable with similarly titled measures and disclosures by other companies.

Climate strategy and emissions data

All greenhouse gas emissions data in this report are estimates, due to the inherent uncertainty and limitations in measuring or quantifying greenhouse gas emissions, and our methodologies for measuring or quantifying greenhouse gas emissions may evolve as best practices continue to develop and data quality and quantity continue to improve.

Woodside “greenhouse gas” or “emissions” information reported are net equity Scope 1 greenhouse emissions, Scope 2 greenhouse emissions, and/or Scope 3 greenhouse emissions, unless otherwise stated.

For more information on Woodside’s climate strategy, including references to ‘lower-carbon’ and ‘lower-carbon services’ as part of that strategy, and emissions data, refer to Woodside’s Climate Transition Action Plan and 2023 Progress Report and 2024 Climate Update available at woodside.com.

No express or implied prices

This report does not include any express or implied prices at which Woodside will buy or sell financial products.

Notes to petroleum reserves and resources

 

1.

The petroleum resource estimates are quoted as at the effective date of 31 July 2025, net Woodside share. For details of Woodside’s year end 2024 reserves position, see the Reserves and Resources Statement included in the 2024 Annual Report. US investors should refer to “Additional information for US investors concerning reserves and resources estimates” below.

 

2.

All numbers are internal estimates produced by Woodside. Estimates of reserves and contingent resources should be regarded only as estimates that may change over time as additional information becomes available.

 

3.

The reference point is defined as the outlet of the floating production storage and offloading facility (FPSO).

 

4.

‘Reserves’ are estimated quantities of petroleum that have been demonstrated to be producible from known accumulations in which the company has a material interest from a given date forward, at commercial rates, under presently anticipated production methods, operating conditions, prices, and costs. Woodside reports reserves inclusive of all fuel consumed in operations. Woodside estimates and reports its proved reserves in accordance with SEC regulations which are also compliant with the 2018 Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)/World Petroleum Council (WPC)/American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG)/Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (SPEE) Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) (SPE-PRMS) guidelines. SEC-compliant proved reserves estimates use a more restrictive, rules-based approach and are generally lower than estimates prepared solely in accordance with SPE-PRMS guidelines due to, among other things, the requirement to use commodity prices based on the average of first of month prices during the 12-month period in the reporting company’s fiscal year. Woodside estimates and reports its proved plus probable reserves in accordance with SPE-PRMS guidelines which are not compliant with SEC regulations.

 

5.

Assessment of the economic value in support of an SPE-PRMS (2018) reserves and resources classification, uses Woodside Portfolio Economic Assumptions (Woodside PEAs). The Woodside PEAs are reviewed on an annual basis, or more often if required. The review is based on historical data and forecast estimates for economic variables such as product prices and exchange rates. The Woodside PEAs are approved by the Woodside Board. Specific contractual arrangements for individual projects are also taken into account.

 

6.

Woodside uses both deterministic and probabilistic methods for the estimation of reserves and contingent resources at the field and project levels. All proved reserves estimates have been estimated using deterministic methods and reported on a net interest basis in accordance with the SEC regulations and have been determined in accordance with SEC Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X.

 

69 | Half-Year Report 2025    LOGO


7.

‘MMboe’ means millions (106) of barrels of oil equivalent. Natural gas volumes are converted to oil equivalent volumes via a constant conversion factor, which for Woodside is 5.7 Bcf of dry gas per 1 MMboe. All volumes are reported at standard oilfield conditions of 14.696 psi (101.325 kPa) and 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.56 degrees Celsius).

 

8.

‘Proved reserves’ are those quantities of crude oil, condensate, natural gas and NGLs that, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward from known reservoirs and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, operating contracts, and government regulations. Proved reserves are estimated and reported on a net interest basis in accordance with the SEC regulations and have been determined in accordance with SEC Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X.

 

9.

‘Undeveloped reserves’ are those reserves for which wells and facilities have not been installed or executed but are expected to be recovered through future significant investments.

 

10.

‘Probable reserves’ are those reserves which analysis of geological and engineering data suggests are more likely than not to be recoverable. Proved plus probable reserves represent the best estimate of recoverable quantities. Where probabilistic methods are used, there is at least a 50% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the sum of estimated proved plus probable reserves. Proved plus probable reserves are estimated and reported in accordance with SPE-PRMS guidelines and are not compliant with SEC regulations.

 

11.

The estimates of petroleum reserves and contingent resources are based on and fairly represent information and supporting documentation prepared by, or under the supervision of, Mr Benjamin Ziker, Woodside’s Vice President Reserves and Subsurface, who is a full-time employee of the company and a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. The reserves and resources estimates included in this announcement are issued with the prior written consent of Mr Ziker. Mr Ziker’s qualifications include a Bachelor of Science (Chemical Engineering) from Rice University (Houston, Texas, USA) and 27 years of relevant experience.

Additional information for US investors concerning reserves and resources estimates

Woodside is an Australian company with securities listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. Woodside reports its proved reserves in accordance with SEC regulations, which are also compliant with SPE-PRMS guidelines, 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.
