Woodside Strengthens Browse Position Through Pre-Emption Acquisition
Woodside Energy Group Ltd (ASX: WDS) has elected to use its pre-emption rights to purchase PetroChina’s 10.67% interest in the Browse Joint Venture, effectively stepping into the transaction originally agreed between PetroChina and an INPEX subsidiary. The transaction includes an upfront payment of US$225 million, reimbursement of certain joint venture contributions, and a potential additional payment of US$175 million if a final investment decision is reached for the Browse development by June 2032.
The Browse resource is Australia’s largest undeveloped conventional gas project, with potential production capacity of 11.4 million tonnes per annum of LNG, LPG, and domestic gas. Woodside believes integrating Browse with North West Shelf infrastructure could unlock value across the supply chain while supporting future energy demand in the Asia-Pacific region and enhancing domestic gas supply in Western Australia.
Following completion, and subject to regulatory approvals, Woodside’s interest in the Browse Joint Venture is expected to increase to 41.27%. Management views the acquisition as a disciplined, capital-efficient step that strengthens a key long-term growth opportunity and supports future cash flow generation.
