Woodside Energy ADR

Woodside Energy Group delivered a decent financial performance in 2022, driven by higher prices and adding former BHP assets to the portfolio and the Pluto KGP interconnector. Operationally, the company produced good results in its managed LNG assets, averaging 98.5% reliability from Pluto LNG and the North West Shelf Project. With the production of 9.8 million barrels of oil equivalent at a time when the world requires more LNG, they also added value from the interconnector. The integration of BHP Petroleum operations and the interconnector toll payments influenced their unit production cost increase. Besides that, Woodside Energy completed subsea tieback and enhancement initiatives across its Gulf of Mexico and West Australian LNG assets, keeping the plants occupied. In sustainability, the company reduced net equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 11% from the baseline and is on course to meet its 2025 target. We give Woodside Energy Group Ltd. a ‘Buy’ rating with a revised target price.
