Oil and gas producer Woodside Petroleum has reported revenue of $US1.105bn for the December 2015 quarter, which is 37 per cent lower than the same period in 2014. Revenue for the full year also fell by 37 per cent to $US4.5bn, due to the downturn in the crude oil price. Woodside has advised that its full-year accounts will be marred by asset write-downs of up to $US1bn ($A1.2bn). Its shares closed $A0.39 lower at $A25 on 21 January 2016.
