Woodside Energy has made a final investment decision to proceed with its e $US17bn ($27bn) Louisiana LNG project in the US. Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill has described the project as a "game-changer" for the oil and gas group. The project, which was previously called Driftwood, was acquired for $1.2bn in 2024. Woodside will contribute $US11.8bn to its development, while the balance will be funded by Stonepeak, which has bought a 40 per cent stake in Louisiana LNG. The project will make Woodside one of the world’s biggest producers of LNG, with a global market share of more than five per cent.

Woodside Energy will increase its presence in the US after securing a $US1.2bn ($1.79bn) deal to acquire Tellurian, which is developing an LNG export terminal in Louisiana. Tellurian’s Driftwood terminal is expected to have annual export capacity of about 27.6 million tonnes, which is significantly higher than Woodside’s annual production in Australia. Woodside expects to make a final investment decision on the Driftwood project by the end of 2025, and says the facility could be operational before the end of this decade. Tellurian is said to have invested more than $US1bn in the project to date.

A LNG marketing and trading division was established by Australian-listed Woodside Petroleum in 2011. After recently abandoning a planned major investment in a gas field offshore Israel, Woodside has now boosted the trading arm by signing a deal with US group Cheniere Energy. The latter will supply 850,000 tonnes of LNG annually for two decades and possibly a third, from its Corpus Christi facility in Texas. Woodside will buy the gas for 15% above the domestic US spot price and an additional $US3.50 per million British thermal units
