Q.2
Sub-saharan Africa
building a strategic position in both unexplored and under explored plays
in emerging, predominately oil-prone basins in Sub-Saharan Africa, which
has proven world-class petroleum systems with significant potential.
Developing
The Browse Joint Venture (BJV) participants maintain seven petroleum retention
leases under the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006
(Cth) (OPGGSA), the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1982 (WA) and the
Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resources Act 1967 (WA).
Wheatstone Project
The Wheatstone Project (non-operated) comprises the Wheatstone and
Iago fields, an offshore platform, a pipeline to shore and the onshore plant
located near Onslow, in Western Australia's Pilbara region.
LNG and condensate will be exported and domestic gas will be
transported via pipeline to the Dampier Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline. The
Wheatstone Project is targeting first LNG in mid-20171.

Strategy
Our strategy to achieve our vision is built upon three related themes:
Woodside has its own floating LNG, near-shore liquefaction and modular
liquefaction technologies and a range of subsea processing and seismic
processing technologies ready for use. We have established remote operations
from the Perth-based Pluto Support Centre to lower operating costs and
improve maintenance outcomes.
corporate and asset acquisitions, maintaining a disciplined approach to ensure
that we continue to increase shareholder value and appropriately manage risk.
Woodside is building an international exploration portfolio characterised by
materiality and depth, with greater emphasis on emerging petroleum provinces. Q.4
LNG Importance
LNG as a fuel has the potential to become the most important fuel
solution for environmentally sustainable shipping over the next few
years, the CMA Shipping 2016 in Connecticut has heard.
LNG is playing an ever-increasing role. Like all natural gas, LNG is cleaner than
coal or oil, and it offers an opportunity to diversify energy supplies.
The decreasing cost of LNG is making it more competitive in more markets
and, at a time of heightened concern about political instability, it can also be a
more attractive option than international pipelines that cross multiple borders. Q.1
As a result, LNG demand is forecast to grow more quickly than for gas in
general, at about 10percent a year over the next 10 years.
n 2015, LNG global trade is projected to reach as high as 250 million tonnes
per kjm
the global natural gas sector has a bright future in particular for those
involved in LNG. Demand for our product is rising – and rising fast. And that
growth – combined with the fact that our industry is still at a relatively early
stage of development – means there are going to be many new business
opportunities ahead.
Winners will be those who are not only able to develop the upstream gas
and liquefaction capacity, but can also connect gas supplies to emerging
and premium markets – markets such as the east and west coasts of North
America as well as, in the longer term, China and India.
Future outlook
Despite low oil prices and a weak medium-term outlook, the LNG
market has a bright future. There is the need for ~15 new LNG
trains by 2025 and over double that by 2030.

outlook-for-lng.aspx )
Looking further out, we expect LNG demand to grow by 6% p.a. Q.1
between 2015 and 2020 (roughly 60mtpa). However, nearly
100mtpa of new LNG production will also be entering the market
in the same period, mostly from US and Australian plants that
have already taken FID. The LNG market may indeed by
oversupplied out to beyond 2020, unless demand picks up
significantly or delays or disruptions affect supply.

markets-key-to-growth.aspx )
Ultimately the pace and volume of the development of these
recent and likely emerging markets will be impacted by many
factors, including
Economic growth rates and corresponding demand for gas
Local competitiveness of LNG versus alternative fuels, also in light
of environmental regulations
Regasification and pipeline infrastructure build-out and the
associated financing required
Gas monetization efforts of the global gas industry

Working Sustainably
Our social contribution priority areas align with the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals and are applied globally. These are:
Create Opportunities:
Create quality education and lifelong learning opportunities; and
Create sustained and inclusive employment.
Build Resilience:
• Build communities that are inclusive, safe and sustainable; and
• Build communities where innovation is used to benefit future generations.
Improve Knowledge:
• Improve understanding of climate change and our response; and
• Improve knowledge and use of our land, air and seas.
Each year we provide financial and in-kind support to a wide range of not-for-profit and
community-based organisations across three main funding types:
• Partnerships: strategically aligned sponsorships (community investments or
commercial initiatives) with individual not-for-profit community-based
organisations;
• Collaboration: strategic alliances between not-for-profits, community and
government organisations focused on achieving an agreed social outcome,
specifically early childhood development through the Woodside Development
Fund; and
Philanthropy: community grants (donations), workplace giving and corporate
volunteering.
