Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Woodside Energy Group reported first-quarter 2026 operating revenue of $3,261 million, up 7% on the prior quarter but slightly below the same period last year. Production was 45.2 MMboe, down 8% year-on-year, while sales volumes reached 51.7 MMboe.

The average realised price increased to $63/boe, 11% higher than the prior quarter, helped by stronger spot markets. Full-year 2026 guidance for production, capital, abandonment, exploration spending and costs was reaffirmed with no changes.

Woodside highlighted progress on key growth projects. The Scarborough Energy Project is 96% complete and targeting first LNG in Q4 2026. The Trion oil project is 56% complete and aiming for first oil in 2028, while Louisiana LNG Train 1 is 31% complete. Beaumont New Ammonia shipped its first cargo in February and moved to full operational control in March.

MMboe financial
"Production for the period was 45.2 million barrels of oil equivalent"
mmboe stands for million barrels of oil equivalent, a unit that converts different forms of energy (natural gas, condensates and other hydrocarbons) into the energy value of one million barrels of crude oil. Investors use mmboe to compare production, reserves and project size across companies and assets—like using a single currency to add apples and oranges—so it helps gauge potential supply, future revenue and company scale.

gas hub exposure financial
"Gas hub exposure 2 % ~30 No change"
production sharing contracts financial
"Operations governed by production sharing contracts."
Production sharing contracts are agreements between a government and an energy company that define how revenue or physical output from an oil or gas project is divided after production costs are recovered. For investors, they matter because the split, cost recovery rules and fiscal terms determine how much of the project's revenue the company keeps versus what goes to the state — like a recipe that dictates how a cake is baked and who gets which slices.

Woodside CEO Liz Westcott said the company maintained safe and reliable operations across its global portfolio during the first quarter, while continuing to execute major projects to budget and schedule.

“Production for the period was 45.2 million barrels of oil equivalent, underpinned by exceptional reliability of our world-class assets, including 99.9% at Sangomar and 99.0% at Shenzi. In Western Australia, Pluto LNG achieved 100% reliability for the third consecutive quarter, while the North West Shelf Project delivered 99.7%.

“Output from our Western Australian assets was impacted late in the quarter by Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle. The team’s cyclone response ensured we maintained the safety of our people, assets and the environment throughout the shutdown and restoration of operations.

“We have seen modest increases to our portfolio average realised pricing in the quarter, driven by elevated spot prices. Further benefits of currently higher spot prices will be realised in subsequent quarters for LNG due to lagged contract pricing.

“We continued disciplined delivery of major cash-generative growth projects. Our Scarborough Energy Project is 96% complete and on target for first LNG cargo in the fourth quarter of 2026.

“During the period, we also progressed preparations for the Pluto turnaround scheduled for May, supporting long-term asset performance, and advancing readiness for Scarborough start-up.

“We reached key milestones during the quarter at Beaumont New Ammonia, achieving first ammonia cargo in February followed by the successful transition to full operational control of the facility in March.

“We commenced the drilling campaign at Trion, and completed the lift and installation of two topside modules onto the FPU. The project is 56% complete and targeting first oil in 2028.

“Construction at the Louisiana LNG project is progressing well, with structural steel erection, pipe installation, LNG tank construction and marine works underway. Louisiana LNG Train 1 is 31% complete.

“The drilling and completion of the Julimar Development Phase 3 wells was delivered, marking another milestone ahead of the asset swap with Chevron in H2 2026.

“At the time of my appointment in March, I said my focus would be on operational excellence, disciplined execution and sustainable value creation for Woodside shareholders. Cost discipline is essential to sustainable shareholder value creation and we are commencing a structured review of our business to streamline decision making, reduce complexity and improve accountability. We expect this will deliver benefits through improved organisational effectiveness and capital management without compromising safety, execution or operational reliability.

Beaumont New Ammonia

 

   

Assumed operational control of the Beaumont New Ammonia facility in March 2026 following completion of performance testing and handover from OCI Global and final payment of $470 million.

 

   

Achieved first ammonia cargo in February 2026, with 2026 sales comprising a combination of spot and term cargoes supplied to domestic US barges and international seaborne vessels.

 

   

Due to delays at third-party industrial gas suppliers, we are targeting production of lower-carbon ammonia in 2027.

 

Marketing

 

   

There have been no disruptions to Woodside’s trading activities as a result of the conflict in the Middle East, with shipping operations continuing as planned.

 

   

Revenue and trading:

 

     

Continued strong LNG demand for spot cargoes from the Woodside portfolio at market prices.

 

     

LNG realised prices broadly flat compared to the prior quarter due to price lags.

 

     

Approximately 51% of LNG sold was linked to gas hub indices in the quarter.

 

     

Interruptions have increased the demand for crude products resulting in higher spot market prices.

 

   

Shipping:

 

     

Woodside has a strategy of securing term shipping for annual average delivery commitments and therefore has limited exposure to volatile spot LNG carrier rates.

 

     

Woodside does not currently have any controlled shipping that traverses Iranian waters or the Straits of Hormuz. Woodside trade routes are not subject to increased security risk.

 

   

Executed incremental pipeline gas sales of:

 

     

Approximately 1 PJ to be delivered to the Western Australian market in 2026.

 

     

8.1 PJ to be delivered to the East Coast market across 2026, 2027 and 2028.

 

   

Woodside continues to engage with the Western Australian market on additional spot supply in 2026 and requirements for 2027 and onwards.

Corporate activities

CEO appointment

 

   

The Board appointed Liz Westcott as Woodside’s CEO and Managing Director, effective 18 March 2026.

Annual General Meeting

 

   

Woodside’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on 23 April 2026.

 

   

All items put to the AGM were carried, and the AGM voting results were published following the meeting.

Climate and sustainability

 

   

Published AASB S2 climate-related disclosures in the 2025 Annual Report.

 

   

“Woodside Sustainability Briefing 2026” held on 16 March, highlighting 2025 sustainability performance.

 

   

Subsequent to the period, the 2025 Social Contribution Report was released, outlining our focus on the generation of better social and economic outcomes for our host communities.

Hedging

 

   

As at 31 March 2026, 30 MMboe of 2026 oil production was hedged at an average price of $74.23 per barrel and 10 MMboe of 2027 production at $76.76 per barrel.

 

   

Continued hedging program for Corpus Christi LNG volumes involving Henry Hub and Title Transfer Facility (TTF) commodity swaps. Approximately 95% of 2026, 86% of 2027, and 7% of 2028 volumes have been hedged.

 

   

The realised value of all hedged positions for the period ended 31 March 2026 is an estimated pre-tax profit of $32 million, with a $24 million profit related to Corpus Christi hedges and a $9 million profit related to oil price hedges, offset by a $1 million loss related to other hedge positions. Hedging profits will be included in ‘other income’ except hedging profits related to interest rate swaps which will be included in ‘finance income’ in the 2026 financial statements.

Embedded commodity derivative

 

   

In 2023, Woodside entered into 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 the quarter ended 31 March 2026, an unrealised pre-tax loss of approximately $41 million is expected to be recognised through other expense.

Funding and liquidity

 

   

As at 31 March 2026, Woodside had liquidity of approximately $8,300 million, after paying a fully franked dividend in March, and net debt (including lease liabilities) of approximately $9,300 million.

Average realised price increased 11% from the prior quarter primarily due to:

 

   

LNG traded sales from the Woodside portfolio at higher spot market prices; and

 

   

Oil and condensate and liquids traded sales at higher Dated Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) market prices. The oil and condensate quarterly realised price includes a revenue adjustment of $75 million which will be reported within “other income” in the Financial Statements. This adjustment represents the increase in market prices between the date revenue is recognised, based on provisional pricing and the expected final price paid by the customer.

 

 

27 Excludes any additional benefit attributed to produced volumes through third-party trading activities.

28 Sales volumes have been restated to reflect volumes sold in MMBtu at a revised boe conversion factor impacting realised price by -$0.2/Mcf for International pipeline gas and -$1/boe for Group in Q1 2025.

FAQ

How did Woodside (WDS) perform operationally in Q1 2026?

Woodside produced 45.2 MMboe in Q1 2026, down 8% year-on-year. Output was supported by high reliability at key assets like Sangomar and Shenzi, although Western Australian operations were temporarily affected by Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle.

What was Woodside (WDS) operating revenue in Q1 2026?

Woodside generated $3,261 million in operating revenue in Q1 2026. This was 7% higher than Q4 2025 but slightly below Q1 2025, reflecting lower production volumes offset by a stronger average realised price.

How did Woodside’s average realised price change in Q1 2026?

Woodside’s average realised price rose to $63 per boe in Q1 2026, up 11% from Q4 2025. The improvement was mainly driven by elevated spot prices, with additional pricing benefits expected later due to lagged LNG contract mechanisms.

What progress did Woodside (WDS) report on the Scarborough project?

The Scarborough Energy Project is reported as 96% complete in Q1 2026. Woodside reiterated its target for first LNG cargo from Scarborough in the fourth quarter of 2026, with associated work at Pluto supporting the planned start-up.

How advanced are Woodside’s Trion and Louisiana LNG projects?

In Q1 2026, the Trion oil project was 56% complete and targeting first oil in 2028. Louisiana LNG construction continued, with Train 1 reported as 31% complete, including structural, piping, tank and marine works underway.

Did Woodside (WDS) change its 2026 guidance in this report?

Woodside maintained its 2026 full-year guidance with no changes. Targets for total production, gas hub exposure, capital expenditure, abandonment and exploration expenditure, production costs, and depreciation all remained in their previously stated ranges.

What new contribution did Beaumont New Ammonia make to Woodside’s results?
