Woodside Energy Group Ltd Announces 2023 full-year guidance

Announcement

PERTH, AUSTRALIA / ACCESSWIRE / November 29, 2022 / Woodside has completed a review of its 2023 corporate plan, including cost, production and sales forecasts. As a result, the following guidance is provided.

Capital expenditure

Woodside's full-year 2023 capital expenditure guidance is US$6.0 - 6.5 billion, assuming no change to current participating interests. The approximate split by activity area is:

Sangomar[1]

~20%

Scarborough[2]

~50%

Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean

~15%

Australia, Corporate and Other[3]

~15%

Production

Woodside's full-year 2023 production guidance is 180 - 190 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe). Key factors influencing this range are:

  • Sangomar Field Development Phase 1 is targeting first oil in late 2023. No credit is taken for any production in 2023.
  • Mad Dog Phase 2 is undergoing commissioning and Woodside assumes for production guidance purposes a start-up in mid-2023.
  • A major turnaround is planned at Pluto LNG in Q2 2023 with an expected duration of approximately four weeks.

The approximate split by product type is:

LNG MMboe

83 - 85

Pipeline gas MMboe

40 - 42

Crude and condensate MMboe

50 - 55

Natural gas liquids MMboe

7 - 8

Total MMboe

180 - 190

In July 2022, Woodside updated its methodology for calculating the barrels of oil equivalent (boe) for its products, applying a single volumetric conversion factor across the entire post-merger portfolio. Natural gas liquids are reported on a liquid volume basis. All gas products are calculated on a volumetric basis with a conversion factor of 5,700 standard cubic feet (scf) per boe. Woodside previously used product-specific conversion factors on an energy basis. BHP Petroleum previously used 6,000 scf per boe.[4]

The 2023 production guidance using the previous conversion factors would be approximately 6 MMboe higher.

Gas hub exposure

Woodside expects approximately 20-25% of its 2023 produced LNG to be sold at prices linked to gas hub indices.

Investor Briefing Day 2022

Woodside's Investor Briefing Day 2022 will be held in Sydney, Australia, on Thursday, 1 December 2022, commencing at 09.30 AEDT / 06.30 AWST (16.30 CST on Wednesday, 30 November 2022).

Woodside CEO Meg O'Neill and the executive team will provide an update on the company's strategy and value proposition.

A live webcast of the event will be available at https://webcast.openbriefing.com/9173/.
