  1. The equity portion of greenhouse gas emissions, flare, fuel and production values include data from non-operated ventures where Woodside owns an equity portion. Where data has been provided by third parties it has been used. Where 2023 data is not available estimates have been used based on extrapolation of historic data or from the performance of analogue facilities where historical data is also not available
  2. Operated greenhouse gas emissions, flare, fuel and production values are for Woodside operated production assets only.
  3. Hydrocarbon production includes exportable hydrocarbons only and comprises of LNG, pipeline gas, crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids (NGLs). Traded hydrocarbons are excluded.
  4. Traded hydrocarbons means the purchase and/or sale of spot and/or strip of LNG cargoes, crude oil or pipeline gas.
  5. Please see Annual Report 2023 for more information on Total Operating Revenue
  6. 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 exist.
  7. Equity emissions are based on the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and the IPIECA Petroleum Industry Guidelines for Reporting Greenhouse Gas Emissions 2nd Edition, May 2011. Equity emissions from non-hydrocarbon producing subsidiary companies (e.g. shipping companies) are excluded.
  8. Remaining 8% is due to international assets and Australian assets with emissions below the Safeguard Mechanism legislation threshold.
  9. Methane intensity is calculated as the volume of methane emissions divided by the volume of marketed gas inclusive of LNG, pipeline gas and natural gas liquids.
  10. Flared emissions calculation methodology was updated in 2020 to align with NGER and include inert compounds which have a global warming potential of zero.
  11. Selected upstream emissions from GHG Protocol Categories 1 (purchased goods and services, not including production of purchased LNG); 5 (waste generated in operations); 6 (business travel); and 7 (employee commuting). Includes equity emissions associated with Woodside employees and Woodside operated facilities only.
  12. Includes emissions associated with the downstream transport (GHG Protocol Category 9) of hydrocarbon sales. Where information is available Woodside’s equity share is reported, where this information is not available 100% of transport emissions are conservatively reported. No adjustment has been made for combustion of sold product during transport (e.g. LNG combusted by LNG ships, pipeline gas used in transmission compressor stations) and therefore could be double counted.
  13. 2021 reported value only includes downstream transportation of Woodside equity LNG. Numbers reported after includes downstream transportation of all Woodside equity production.
  14. 2021 reported value only includes traded LNG.Numbers reported after includes use of sold product for all Woodside traded hydrocarbons.
  15. Emissions intensity is calculated based on net equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emission as well as equity Scope 3 (use of sold product) and Woodside's equity production. Metric excludes emissions and production related to traded hydrocarbons.
