Operations
Pluto LNG
| • | LNG reliability was 89.9% for the quarter due to the impact of three unplanned train outages, which were rectified within days of each event. Facility performance continues to be proactively monitored to minimise the risk of future unplanned outages. |
| • | Completed maintenance activities during facility downtime to minimise future planned outages. |
| • | Successfully processed additional volumes through the Pluto-KGP Interconnector, using capacity at the North West Shelf. |
North West Shelf (NWS) Project
| • | Achieved strong quarterly LNG reliability of 96.5%. |
| • | Received approvals from the North West Shelf Joint Venture for long lead items on the Greater Western Flank Phase 4 Project, a five-well subsea tie-back to existing NWS offshore facilities.

| • | Successfully completed remote operations of offshore assets during a significant cyclone event, which limited the impact on production. |
| • | Continued LNG Train 2 permanent retirement activities following cessation of production in Q4 2024, with retirement work scopes being undertaken in a phased manner. |
Bass Strait
| • | Woodside approved investment in the Kipper 1B Project and the Turrum Phase 3 Project. Through the development of these projects, Woodside is expected to add more than 100 petajoules (Woodside equity interest) to the south-eastern Australian domestic gas market, supplying local manufacturers, power generators, and homes. |
| • | The Kipper 1B Project is expected to expand capacity from the Kipper field and deliver gas supplies ahead of winter 2026 through the drilling of a subsea well and upgrades to the West Tuna platform. |
| • | The Turrum Phase 3 Project is expected to deliver much-needed gas to south-eastern Australia by 2027 from a five-well infill development of the Turrum and North Turrum fields and topsides modifications to the Marlin B platform. Once the project comes online, it will produce four times more gas than Queensland supplied to the southern states in 2024. |
| 4 | Revenue presented in this quarterly report reconciles to operating revenue, the IFRS measure presented in Woodside Financial Statements. Comparative periods have been presented on the same basis. |

Notes to petroleum reserves and resources
| 1. | The petroleum resource estimates are quoted as at the effective date of 31 March 2025, net Woodside share. For details of Woodside’s year end 2024 reserves position, see the Reserves Statement included in Woodside’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| 2. | All numbers are internal estimates produced by Woodside. Estimates of reserves should be regarded only as estimates that may change over time as additional information becomes available. |
| 3. | The reference point is defined as the outlet of the floating production storage and offloading facility (FPSO). |
| 4. | ‘Reserves’ are estimated quantities of petroleum that have been demonstrated to be producible from known accumulations in which the company has a material interest from a given date forward, at commercial rates, under presently anticipated production methods, operating conditions, prices, and costs. Woodside reports reserves inclusive of all fuel consumed in operations. Woodside estimates and reports its proved reserves in accordance with SEC regulations which are also compliant with the 2018 Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)/World Petroleum Council (WPC)/American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG)/Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (SPEE) Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) (SPE-PRMS) guidelines. Assessment of the economic value in support of an SPE-PRMS (2018) reserves and resources classification, uses Woodside Portfolio Economic Assumptions (Woodside PEAs). The Woodside PEAs are reviewed on an annual basis, or more often if required. The review is based on historical data and forecast estimates for economic variables such as product prices and exchange rates. The Woodside PEAs are approved by the Woodside Board. Specific contractual arrangements for individual projects are also taken into account. |
| 32 | Woodside share reflects the net realised interest for the period. |
| 33 | Operations governed by production sharing contracts. |
| 19 | First quarter report for period ended 31 March 2025 |
| ||||
| 5. | Woodside uses both deterministic and probabilistic methods for the estimation of reserves at the field and project levels. All proved reserves estimates have been estimated using deterministic methods and reported on a net interest basis in accordance with the SEC regulations and have been determined in accordance with SEC Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X. |
| 6. | ‘MMboe’ means millions (106) of barrels of oil equivalent. Natural gas volumes are converted to oil equivalent volumes via a constant conversion factor, which for Woodside is 5.7 Bcf of dry gas per 1 MMboe. All volumes are reported at standard oilfield conditions of 14.696 psi (101.325 kPa) and 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.56 degrees Celsius). |
| 7. | ‘Proved reserves’ are those quantities of crude oil, condensate, natural gas and NGLs that, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward from known reservoirs and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, operating contracts, and government regulations. Proved reserves are estimated and reported on a net interest basis in accordance with the SEC regulations and have been determined in accordance with SEC Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X. |
| 8. | ‘Undeveloped reserves’ are those reserves for which wells and facilities have not been installed or executed but are expected to be recovered through future significant investments. |
| 9. | The estimates of petroleum reserves are based on and fairly represent information and supporting documentation prepared by, or under the supervision of, Mr Benjamin Ziker, Woodside’s Vice President Reserves and Subsurface, who is a full-time employee of the company and a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. The reserves estimates included in this report have been approved by Mr Ziker. Mr Ziker’s qualifications include a Bachelor of Science (Chemical Engineering) from Rice University (Houston, Texas, USA) and 26 years of relevant experience. |
