Portfolio and projects
Our portfolio and major projects

We have growth opportunities across our three pillars of oil, gas and new energy

The Scarborough and Pluto Train 2 projects in Australia were approved in November 2021, with first LNG cargo expected in 2026.

Discovered by PEMEX (Mexico’s state-owned petroleum company) in 2012, the Trion project is targeting first oil for 2028.

Woodside Louisiana LNG (LALNG) is also currently under construction, with the LNG production and export terminal located in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. In April 2025, Woodside made a final investment decision to develop the foundational phase, which is comprised of a three train 16.5 Mtpa development.

Our new energy opportunities include the Beaumont New Ammonia project, located in Beaumont Texas, as well as the proposed hydrogen project H2Perth.
