Woodside said Scarborough is 94% complete and on track for first LNG in Q4 2026, while Louisiana LNG is progressing toward a 2029 start as the company advances long-term LNG supply and Beaumont ammonia production.
(P&GJ) — Woodside said its Scarborough Energy Project is 94% complete and remains on budget, targeting first LNG cargo in Q4 2026, while its three-train Louisiana LNG Project reached 22% completion and is targeting first LNG in 2029.
“We also continued to progress our major development pipeline, with the three-train foundation phase of the Louisiana LNG Project reaching 22% completion at quarter-end, targeting first LNG in 2029.”
“In recent days we marked a special milestone for the Scarborough Energy Project with the safe arrival of the floating production unit at the field and commencement of hook-up activities. The project was 94% complete at the end of the year and remains on budget and on target for first LNG cargo in Q4 2026.”
Woodside also reported progress at its Beaumont New Ammonia Project in Texas, saying the facility achieved first ammonia production in December and is moving through commissioning.
“In late December first production was achieved at Beaumont New Ammonia. Final project commissioning will continue through early 2026 ahead of project completion and Woodside assuming operational control. Production will commence with conventional ammonia with lower-carbon ammonia planned for 2H 2026.”
“Woodside has finalised agreements with leading global customers to supply conventional ammonia from Beaumont. These deliveries will commence in 2026 and continue through year-end, under contracts that reflect prevailing market prices.”
On Louisiana LNG, Woodside said Train 1 was 28% complete at quarter-end and noted it closed a transaction with Williams tied to project ownership and the associated pipeline company.
“During the period Woodside entered a strategic partnership with leading US gas infrastructure company Williams, selling a 10% interest in the Louisiana LNG HoldCo and an 80% operating interest in PipelineCo, further demonstrating the quality of the project. Under the transaction, Williams will contribute approximately $1.9 billion in capital expenditure and assume offtake obligations for 10% of Louisiana LNG’s produced volumes.”
Woodside said it has also signed long-term LNG sale and purchase agreements tied to its portfolio, including Louisiana LNG.
“During the period we signed long term LNG sale and purchase agreements with SK Gas International and BOTAŞ, supplied from Woodside's global portfolio including LALNG, evidencing the value customers place on our product.”
