Woodside Energy Group

Incorporated in 1954 and named after the small Victorian town of Woodside, Woodside's early exploration focus moved from Victoria's Gippsland Basin to Western Australia's Carnarvon Basin. First LNG production from the North West Shelf came in 1984. BHP Billiton and Shell each had 40% shareholdings before BHP sold out in 1994 and Shell sold down to 34%. In 2010, Shell further decreased its shareholding to 24%. Woodside has the potential to become the most LNG-leveraged company globally.

Shares of energy companies are trading higher amid heightening Middle East tensions. A report suggests Iran is preparing to directly attack Israel, which could create shocks to the global economy.

Chevron Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) reportedly ruled out taking an equity stake in Woodside Energy Group Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDS#NYSE">WDS</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/39879353">upcoming acquisition of Driftwood LNG in Louisiana.</a>
Colin Parfitt, head of midstream operations, told Reuters that Chevron can effectively monetize its U.S. gas without converting it to LNG.
The decision reflects the company&#8217;s earlier choice to bypass investment in U.S. LNG plant construction and sell its gas directly to the market instead.
In July 2023, Chevron executives said in an interview that the company is confident in its &#8216;buy-rather-than-build&#8217; strategy, which an S&amp;P Global <a target="_blank" href="https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insights/latest-news/natural-gas/072023-interview-chevron-prefers-buying-us-lng-to-building-export-projects" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>highlighted.
During the interview, the company&#8217;s executives stated that Chevron&#8217;s U.S. LNG offtake contracts support its goal of increasing international sales of Permian Basin production, while the company will primarily leave U.S. midstream infrastructure development to third parties to focus on upstream and downstream investments.
In 2022, Chevron&nbsp;U.S.A. entered into long-term <a href="https://lngir.cheniere.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/253/cheniere-and-chevron-sign-long-term-lng-sale-and-purchase">LNG </a>sale and purchase agreements with Cheniere Energy. Notably, given the current interest rate environment, it&#8217;s interesting that Chevron chose not to invest in the construction of a U.S. LNG plant.
Recently, the Federal Reserve decided to reduce interest rates by 50 basis points leading to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40937291/bank-stocks-hit-inflection-point-after-feds-50-basis-point-cut-analyst-reveal-top-p" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">surge in optimism across major sectors</a>.
Further into the future, the Dot Plot signals the fed funds rate will drop to between 3.25% and 3.5% by the end of 2025, implying an additional 100 basis points of cuts. By the end of 2026 and the newly introduced projections for 2027, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40926026/federal-reserve-delivers-bold-0-5-rate-cut-signals-further-easing-ahead" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">interest rates are expected to fall to 2.9%</a>.
It remains uncertain whether the company will alter its stance after future rate reductions as it wants the best use of its capital.
This week, Chevron Shipping Company, in partnership with Wärtsilä, disclosed that it will convert engines on six&nbsp;liquefied natural gas&nbsp;(LNG) carriers from dual-fuel to spark gas operation to cut methane&nbsp;emissions <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40941443/chevron-takes-steps-to-reduce-methane-emissions-from-lng-carriers" rel="noreferrer noopener">and support its carbon reduction goals</a>.
Investors can gain exposure to the Chevron via&nbsp;E.A. Series Trust Strive U.S. Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRLL#NYSE">DRLL</a>) and&nbsp;SPDR Select Sector Fund – Energy Select Sector&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>).

Why Is Woodside Energy Stock Trading Higher Tuesday?

Woodside Energy Group H1 Sales $5.99B Down From $7.40B YoY, Underlying Net Profit After Tax Of $1.632B, Down From $1.896B YoY

Chevron Corp&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) shares are trading higher today. The company, through Chevron Australia New Ventures, has been granted a greenhouse gas (GHG) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/b40506399/chevron-builds-on-ccs-portfolio-with-greenhouse-gas-assessment-permit-offshore-australia" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">assessment permit offshore Western Australia</a>.
The permit involves a joint venture with Chevron as the operator, holding a 70% interest, and Woodside Energy Group Ltd &#8211; ADR&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDS#NYSE">WDS</a>) with a 30% interest.
Chevron will transfer 5% of its stake to GS Caltex (GSC) of Korea, pending regulatory approvals and other conditions.
The G-18-AP permit, located offshore from Onslow, Western Australia, spans about 8,467 km² with depths ranging from approximately 164 feet to 3,281 feet (50 to 1,100 meters).
The area will be used to evaluate a hub for storing third-party emissions, including those from Chevron&#8217;s LNG assets.
This award complements Chevron&#8217;s existing non-operated interests in blocks G-9-AP, G-10-AP, and G-11-AP and adds to its operations at Gorgon CCS, which has now captured and stored 10 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent.
Chris Powers, vice president of CCUS and Emerging for Chevron New Energies, said, &#8220;Chevron, along with our joint venture participants, have a unique set of assets, capabilities and, customer relationships to support the further assessment, development, and deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Australia,&#8221;&nbsp;
&#8220;Together with the Chevron-operated Gorgon CCS project, one of the world&#8217;s largest integrated facilities, coupled with our existing GHG assessment permits, this new award has potential to expand Chevron&#8217;s portfolio of CCS assets in Australia,&#8221;
Mark Hatfield, managing director of Chevron Australia, said, &#8220;These opportunities have the potential to help us lower the carbon intensity of our own operations as well as provide opportunities to help our customers reduce or offset emissions from their activities.&#8221;
Yesterday, Chevron said it will inject $1 billion&nbsp;into establishing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40478875/energy-giant-chevron-to-plough-1b-into-indias-bengaluru-tech-centre-add-600-jobs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a technology center in Bengaluru, India</a>.

Bernstein Downgrades Woodside Energy Group to Market Perform

Woodside Energy Group Ltd&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDS#NYSE">WDS</a>) shares are trading higher premarket Monday. The company, along with the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF), reached an agreement to dismiss the ACF&#8217;s challenge to the primary environmental approval for the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.woodside.com/docs/default-source/asx-announcements/2024/scarborough-primary-approval-challenge-to-be-dismissed.pdf?sfvrsn=5cdd22ef_6" rel="noreferrer noopener">Scarborough</a> Energy Project.
The ACF, represented by the Environmental Defenders Office, commenced Federal Court of Australia proceedings in June 2022 regarding the offshore environmental assessment of the project.
The Scarborough Energy Project, covering the Scarborough Joint Venture and Pluto Train expansions, was 67% complete by June 2024, with LNG production slated for 2026.
The project has secured all primary environmental approvals, and offshore work is advancing as planned.
The Federal Court proceedings aimed to halt these offshore activities, but both parties have agreed to request the court to dismiss the case.
Woodside CEO Meg O&#8217;Neill said, &#8220;The Scarborough reservoir contains less than 0.1% carbon dioxide and combined with processing design efficiencies will be one of the lowest carbon intensity sources of LNG delivered into north Asian markets.&#8221;
&#8220;The Scarborough Energy Project will make an important contribution to energy security in Western Australia while providing energy to Asian economies as they decarbonise.&#8221;

The Australian Conservation Foundation disclosed that it would no longer pursue its legal case against the Scarborough gas project, acknowledging that the case was &#8220;unlikely to succeed,&#8221; reported Reuters.
The green group added, &#8220;The reality is that Australia&#8217;s laws work in favour of fossil fuel interests. There is still no explicit requirement for climate damage to be considered under our key national nature law, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.&#8221;

</ul>
Woodside has entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of OCI Clean Ammonia Holding B.V., and its lower carbon ammonia project in Beaumont, Texas (Project) for an all-cash consideration of approximately $2,350 million. The Project is under construction and targets production of first ammonia from 2025 and lower carbon ammonia from 2026. The consideration is inclusive of capital expenditure through completion of the first phase (Phase 1).
Woodside CEO Meg O'Neill said the acquisition supports Woodside's strategy to thrive through the energy transition.

Woodside Acquires OCI'S Clean Ammonia Project For An All-Cash Consideration Of $2.35B

Woodside Energy Group Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDS#NYSE">WDS</a>) disclosed a deal to acquire 100% of OCI Global&#8217;s equity interests in the Clean Ammonia project under construction in Beaumont, Texas, for $2.35 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.woodside.com/docs/default-source/lse-announcements/woodside-to-acquire-oci's-clean-ammonia-project---rns-submit.pdf?sfvrsn=ec842cfc_1" rel="noreferrer noopener">billion</a> on a cash-free and debt-free basis.
The purchase price will be <a target="_blank" href="https://oci-global.com/news-stories/press-releases/oci-global-announces-agreement-for-the-sale-of-its-clean-ammonia-project-in-beaumont-texas-to-woodside-energy/" rel="noreferrer noopener">split</a>, with 80% paid at closing and the remaining 20% settled upon project completion, defined as when the plant meets the agreed-upon terms and conditions.
Situated in Beaumont, Texas on the U.S. Gulf Coast, the project will cater to both domestic and international markets.
Phase 1, under construction, has a design capacity of 1.1 Mtpa, with initial ammonia production from natural gas expected in 2025.
Lower-carbon ammonia, produced using natural gas and carbon sequestration, is planned for 2026 after CCS operations begin.
The facility is designed to support a second 1.1 Mtpa production train (Phase 2), which is still in the pre-final investment decision (FID) stage.
Woodside aims to achieve FID readiness for Phase 2 by 2026, with anticipated capital expenditures between $1.2 and $1.4 billion.
Returns &amp; Synergies: Phase 1 is projected to surpass Woodside&#8217;s 10% internal rate of return (IRR) target for new energy projects, including acquisition and construction costs, and to achieve payback in under 10 years.
Phase 2 is expected to deliver even better returns by utilizing shared infrastructure. The deal is projected to be accretive to free cash flow starting in 2026 and to earnings per share from 2027.
The transaction is anticipated to close in the second half of 2024, pending the fulfillment of standard closing conditions and OCI shareholder approval.
Woodside CEO Meg O&#8217;Neill said, &#8220;This transaction positions Woodside in the growing lower carbon ammonia market. The potential applications for lower carbon ammonia are in power generation, marine fuels and as an industrial feedstock, as it displaces higher-emitting fuels.&#8221;
&#8220;Global ammonia demand is forecast to double by 2050, with lower caWoodside Expands Clean Energy Footprint with $2.35B Ammonia Acquisitionrbon ammonia making up nearly two-thirds of total demand.&#8221;
&#8220;This acquisition is a material step towards delivering our Scope 3 investment and abatement targets.

Tellurian Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TELL#NYSE">TELL</a>) shares are trading higher after the company inked an acquisition deal with Australia&#8217;s Woodside Energy Group Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDS#NYSE">WDS</a>) for an implied <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/39874654" rel="noreferrer noopener">enterprise value of $1.2 billion, including net debt.</a>
The deal consideration includes a $900 million all-cash payment or $1.00 per Tellurian share.
The acquisition price represents a&nbsp;75%&nbsp;premium to Tellurian&#8217;s closing price on July 19, 2024, and a&nbsp;48%&nbsp;premium to Tellurian&#8217;s 30-day <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/39874555" rel="noreferrer noopener">volume weighted average price.</a>
The deal, which includes Tellurian&#8217;s owned and operated U.S. Gulf Coast Driftwood LNG development opportunity, offers access to an asset with over $1 billion already invested.
To facilitate its acquisition of Tellurian, Woodside will offer a $230 million loan to support Driftwood LNG operations until the transaction closes.
The loan is secured by Tellurian&#8217;s assets and matures on December 15, 2024, or upon deal completion.
Tellurian&#8217;s Board has approved the deal and recommended it to shareholders, with the transaction expected to close in the&nbsp;fourth quarter&nbsp;of the 2024 calendar year.
Woodside CEO Meg O&#8217;Neill stated, &#8220;It adds a scalable US LNG development opportunity to our existing approximately 10 Mtpa of equity LNG in Australia. Having a complementary US position would allow us to better serve customers globally and capture further marketing optimisation opportunities across both the Atlantic and Pacific Basins.&#8221;
&#8220;The Driftwood LNG development opportunity is competitively advantaged. Woodside expects to leverage its global LNG expertise to unlock this fully permitted development and expand our relationship with Bechtel which is the EPC contractor for both Driftwood LNG and our Pluto Train 2 project in Australia.&#8221;
This month, Woodside signed a long-term SPA with CPC Corporation to supply 6 million tonnes of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39733777/woodside-wins-big-secures-decade-long-lng-deal-with-taiwans-cpc" rel="noreferrer noopener">LNG to Taiwan over ten years</a>.
Price Action: TELL shares are up 65.50% at $0.9450 premarket at the last check Monday.
