Woodside CEO Liz Westcott said the strong third quarter performance reflected the company’s highly reliable operations and disciplined execution of major growth projects.

“Amid ongoing volatility in global energy markets, we have remained a reliable supplier to our customers. Increased quarterly operating revenue reflected increased production and strong realised prices.

“We delivered quarterly production of 46.2 million barrels of oil equivalent, up 12% from the previous quarter following the successful completion of the Pluto LNG turnaround in the second quarter and the NWS turnaround in the third quarter.

“We maintained outstanding reliability across our global portfolio, with reliability of 99.8% at Pluto LNG and 99.3% at the NWS Project in Australia, and 99.2% at Sangomar in Senegal.

“We recorded three process safety events during the quarter. Safety remains our highest priority and we are focused on applying the lessons learned from these incidents and strengthening our controls in this vitally important area.

“We continued executing our major growth projects to budget and schedule. The Scarborough Energy Project is now 99% complete, with gas from the Scarborough reservoir introduced into the FPU and exported into the trunkline during the quarter. We remain on track for first LNG cargo this year.

“The Trion Project is now 71% complete and targeting first oil in 2028. Fabrication of the FPU is well advanced, with integration and pre-commissioning activities underway.

“Louisiana LNG is targeting first LNG in 2029, with construction progressing across all three trains and the project 32% complete.

“We continued to optimise our portfolio through the ongoing integration of the Gippsland Basin assets and divestment of our operated interest in the Calypso Project. Following completion of the Beaumont New Ammonia strategic review, we will now initiate a formal process to reduce our investment and achieve value for our shareholders. These actions demonstrate our disciplined approach to portfolio management and capital allocation, with a clear focus on investments that deliver long-term shareholder value.

“We remain committed to supplying Australia’s domestic gas market and are assessing our plans for four proposed development wells in the Bass Strait. Development will depend on technical assessments and the implications of the Federal Government’s domestic gas reservation scheme.”

  • Achieved quarterly reliability of 91%.
  • Achieved completion of the five Turrum Phase 3 Project development wells with first production targeting H1 2027.
  • Progressed integration of the Gippsland Basin assets into Woodside’s operated portfolio following transfer of operatorship from ExxonMobil on 1 July 2026.

Other Australia

  • Following remediation of a subsea mooring system defect and successful FPSO reconnection, production resumed at Okha, with ongoing well assessment supporting further production restoration.
  • Subsequent to the period, the Pyrenees floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) disconnected ahead of scheduled shipyard activity in Q4 2026.

Sangomar

  • Achieved an average daily production rate of 94 Mbbl/d (100% basis, 73 Mbbl/d Woodside share) with reliability of 99.2%.
  • Production rate reflects natural field decline and reduced production sharing contract (PSC) net entitlement following recovery of 100% Woodside-funded pre-FID costs.

Gulf of America

  • Achieved quarterly reliability of 94.3% at Shenzi.
  • Executed a planned shutdown at Shenzi in July 2026 and a three-well intervention campaign in August 2026.
  • Atlantis achieved start-up of the Major Facility Expansion (MFX) project, bringing the first of two water injectors online. The project added subsea infrastructure, wells and upgraded water injection equipment.

Beaumont New Ammonia

  • BNA suspended operations for approximately 30 days following a Tier 1 process safety event. There were no injuries to personnel or damage to equipment and no lasting impact to the environment. The facility was safely restarted following completion of an internal investigation and implementation of appropriate actions.
  • Production during the quarter was constrained to 69% of nameplate capacity due to third-party feedstock availability and the 30 day shut down. Third-party cargoes were sourced to satisfy customer commitments on similar financial terms.
  • Commencement of lower-carbon ammonia production remains targeted for 2027, subject to commissioning of Linde’s low-carbon hydrogen facilities and start-up of ExxonMobil’s carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure. During the quarter, the Texas Railroad Commission voted to approve the permit for ExxonMobil’s Rose carbon storage project, moving it into the final stages of a multi-year regulatory process.
  • Completed the strategic review of BNA. In light of the evolving pace of lower-carbon ammonia market development, Woodside will initiate a formal process to reduce its investment in BNA investment and achieve value for shareholders.

Marketing

Revenue and trading

  • Strong marketing performance reflected the realisation of value from LNG portfolio optimisation undertaken in Q2 2026, with revenue recognised as cargoes were delivered in Q3 2026.
  • Average realised LNG prices improved quarter-on-quarter, reflecting the realisation of price lags from Q2 2026 and stronger gas hub market pricing in the lead up to northern hemisphere winter months.
  • Approximately 33% of LNG sold was linked to gas hub indices during the quarter.
  • The impact of crude supply disruptions softened during the quarter as export flows recovered and market balances improved, resulting in lower market prices for crude oil and weaker realised premiums for the liquids portfolio (oil, condensate and liquids traded).

Pipeline gas

  • Executed incremental pipeline gas sales of:
    • 12.9 PJ to be delivered to the Western Australian market from 2027 to 2029
    • 18.4 PJ to be delivered to the East Coast market from 2026 to 2028.
  • Progressed expression of interest for 20 PJ of Bass Strait supply and finalised a number of 2027 and 2028 offers during the period.

  • Commenced offshore wellhead severance across the NWS gas, NWS oil and Julimar-Brunello fields, with nine wellheads removed.
  • Continued progress across the Gippsland Basin Joint Venture wells P&A campaign, including conductor recovery activities at the Cobia field, completion of preparatory work for the Snapper campaign and commencement of the Barracouta A P&A campaign.
  • Progressed execution readiness for the offshore Echo Yodel pipeline removal campaign.
  • Submitted and secured NOPSEMA acceptance of Enfield decommissioning project close-out documentation.

Development and exploration

Browse

  • The Browse to North West Shelf Project continues to advance technical definition, regulatory approvals and commercial agreements as part of pre-front end engineering design activities.
  • Continued engagement with regulators to progress environmental approvals. Following submission of the revised Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 referral, the Commonwealth regulator has determined that the Browse Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Project will be assessed by Environmental Impact Statement.
  • Progressed market engagement for the design and construction of the FPSO facilities and engineering studies of downstream modifications required for processing Browse gas at Karratha Gas Plant.

  • The terms of the existing PSCs (JPDA PSC 03-19 and JPDA PSC 03-20) were extended to 31 March 2027 to facilitate implementation of the new PSC arrangements.

Calypso

Exploration

  • The Nasim-1X well, operated by ENI, was spud on the Tiba license in Egypt in August 2026 and drilling activities are ongoing. Woodside holds a 40% non-operated interest.
  • Woodside was awarded one lease in the US Gulf of America where Woodside was the successful bidder from the Big Beautiful Gulf 3 Lease Sale held in August 2026.
  • Entered a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Petrόleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) to evaluate deepwater opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico.

Corporate activities

Cost reduction

  • Woodside continued to progress the cost reduction program during the quarter, focused on improving efficiency and productivity.
  • Initiatives underway include simplifying organisational structures, improving maintenance and contracting processes, and expanding the use of automation and AI.
  • The program is targeting to deliver a US$350 million structurally lower recurring cost base against the 2025 baseline from 2028.

Climate and sustainability

  • Three process safety events were recorded during the quarter.
    • A Tier 1 event at BNA (refer to the BNA section for details).
    • Two Tier 2 events involving:
      • a marine diesel oil release during flushing operations at Okha, which had no environmental impact as the release was contained.
      • a methane release from pipework during turnaround activities at KGP.
  • The Sam Houston Jones State Park Project, a voluntary environmental and biodiversity restoration initiative located 15 miles from LALNG, has progressed, with approximately 50% of site preparation completed ahead of seedling planting.

Hedging

  • As at 30 September 2026, approximately 87% of the 30 MMboe of 2026 oil-linked production previously hedged (at an average price of $74.23 per barrel) had been cash settled. No additional oil-linked corporate hedges were entered during the quarter and the 2027 hedge position of 10 MMboe remains unchanged.
  • Continued to utilise Henry Hub and TTF commodity swaps in connection with overall management of Corpus Christi LNG volumes.
  • For 2026 year to date, hedge settlements resulted in a net cash outflow of approximately $565 million, and a reduction to pre-tax profit of $519 million. Cash settlements on oil-linked hedges occur in advance of the related profit and loss impact, resulting in temporary differences.

Embedded commodity derivative

  • In 2023, Woodside entered a revised long-term gas sale and purchase contract 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.
  • 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 2026 year to date, an unrealised pre-tax loss of approximately $179 million is expected to be recognised through other expense.

Funding and liquidity

  • During the quarter Woodside paid a fully franked dividend of $1,084 million and an $800 million bond maturity in September.
  • As at 30 September 2026, Woodside had liquidity of approximately $7,800 million and net debt (including lease liabilities) of approximately $8,900 million.

Capital Markets Day

  • Woodside’s 2026 Capital Markets Day will be held on Thursday, 5 November 2026, commencing at 10:00 am AEDT/7:00 am AWST/5:00 pm CST (Wednesday, 4 November 2026).
  • A live webcast of the Australian event will be available on Woodside’s website at https://meetings.lumiconnect.com/300-191-159-742.
  • This will be followed by a US Capital Markets Day on 12 November 2026 in New York.

These statements may relate to Woodside’s business, goals, targets, aspirations, plans, expectations, market conditions, results of operations and financial condition, including but not limited to, statements regarding the timing, completion and outcomes of transactions, construction costs and capital expenditures, supply and demand for Woodside’s products, development, completion and execution of Woodside’s projects, the expected benefits, cash flows and rates of return or other future results of investments, strategies and transactions, the payment of future dividends and the amount thereof, future results of projects, operating activities and new energy products, expectations and plans for renewables production capacity and investments in, and development of, renewables projects, expectations and guidance with respect to production, production costs and other costs, capital expenditure, abandonment expenditure, exploration expenditure and gas hub exposure, trends in commodity prices and currency exchange rates, adoption and implementation of new technologies and expectations regarding the achievement of Woodside’s Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions target (in each case on a net equity or gross equity basis as specified) and other climate and sustainability goals. All statements, other than statements of historical or present facts, are forward-looking statements and generally may be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “aspire”, “believe”, “enable”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “foresee”, “guidance”, “intend”, “likely”, “may”, “objective”, “outlook”, “pathway”, “plan”, “position”, “potential”, “project”, “schedule”, “seek”, “should”, “strategy”, “strive”, “target”, “will” and other similar words or expressions.

Forward-looking statements in this report are not guarantees of future events or performance, but are in the nature of future expectations that are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions. Those statements and any assumptions on which they are based are subject to change without notice and are subject to inherent known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Woodside, its related bodies corporate and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisers or representatives. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which they are based include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in commodity prices, actual demand for Woodside products, currency fluctuations, geotechnical factors, drilling and production results, gas commercialisation, development progress, operating results, engineering estimates, reserve and resource estimates, loss of market, industry competition, pace of technology developments, sustainability and environmental risks, climate related transition and physical risks, safety and personnel risks, changes in accounting standards, economic and financial markets conditions in various countries and regions, the actions of third parties, project delay or advancement, regulatory approvals, political risks and the impact of armed conflict and political instability (such as the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East) on economic activity and oil and gas supply and demand, cost estimates, legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments, including those related to the imposition of tariffs and other trade restrictions, and the effect of future regulatory or legislative actions on Woodside or the industries in which it operates, including potential changes to tax laws, the impact of general economic conditions, inflationary conditions, prevailing exchange rates and interest rates and conditions in financial markets and risks associated with acquisitions, mergers, divestitures, and joint ventures, including difficulties integrating or separating businesses, uncertainty associated with financial projections, restructuring, increased costs and adverse tax consequences, and uncertainties and liabilities associated with acquired and divested properties and businesses.

A more detailed summary of the key risks relating to Woodside and its business can be found in the “Risk factors” 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.
