據OE網站8月22日報道，伍德賽德公布了其半年財務業績，顯示稅后凈利潤(NPAT)為17.4億美元。潛在NPAT為18.96億美元，比2022年同期增長4%，反映了伍德賽德擴大運營組合整個時期的業績。營業收入同比增長27%至74億美元。

今年上半年的石油產量達到歷史最高水平130萬桶油當量。Pluto LNG設施在計劃維護周期之前的五個月內實現了99.9%的可靠性，按計劃完成了維護周期。

首次生產是在墨西哥灣Mad Dog第二階段的Argos平臺上實現的。在墨西哥灣Mad Dog油田西南部成功鉆了一口評估井，目前正在評估與Argos相連的多口井。

今年6月，伍德賽德對墨西哥近海Trion石油開發項目做出了最終投資決定（FID）。繼FID之后，伍德賽德與韓國現代重工簽訂了建造Trion浮式生產裝置的合同。

伍德賽德還對Julimar Brunello第三階段做出了FID，這是西澳大利亞未運營的惠斯通（Wheatstone）工廠的新氣源。

上半年斯卡伯勒（Scarborough）和Pluto 2號生產線項目的工作進展順利。繼4月接受斯卡伯勒干線安裝(州水域)環境計劃后，Pluto的跨岸準備工作開始，目前已接近完成。

上半年結束后，斯卡伯勒實現了兩個重要里程碑，NOPSEMA批準了海洋地震調查的環境計劃，并宣布將海上合資企業10%的權益出售給日本液化天然氣公司。與日本液化天然氣公司的新戰略關系還包括液化天然氣承購的潛力以及在新能源機遇方面的合作。

伍德賽德正在積極營銷其在俄克拉何馬州擬建的H2OK液氫項目的氫氣供應，以支持在年底前完成FID的目標。

在澳大利亞，該公司的目標是準備在2023年下半年對伍德賽德太陽能項目做出FID，該項目預計將為Pluto液化天然氣供應約50兆瓦的能源。

Woodside Reports Strong Half Year Results

Woodside has released its half-year financial results which show a net profit after tax (NPAT) of US$1,740 million. Underlying NPAT was US$1,896 million, up 4% on the corresponding period in 2022, reflecting a full period of results with Woodside’s expanded operations portfolio. Operating revenue rose 27% period-on-period to US$7,400 million.

Production for the first half was a record at 91.3 million barrels of oil equivalent. The Pluto LNG facility delivered a 99.9% reliability rate in the five months prior to the planned maintenance turnaround, which was completed on schedule.

First production was achieved at the Argos platform at Mad Dog Phase 2 in the Gulf of Mexico. During the half a successful appraisal well was drilled in the southwest portion of the Mad Dog field in the Gulf of Mexico and a multi well tie back to Argos is being evaluated.

In June, Woodside took an FID on the Trion oil development offshore Mexico. Following FID, Woodside executed a contract with South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries for the construction of the Trion floating production unit.

Woodside also took FID during the period at Julimar-Brunello Phase 3, a new source of gas for the non-operated Wheatstone facility in Western Australia.

Work on the Scarborough and Pluto Train 2 project progressed well during the first half. Following acceptance of the Scarborough Trunkline Installation (State Waters) Environmental Plan in April, shore crossing preparations at Pluto commenced and are now nearing completion.

Two significant milestones were achieved for Scarborough subsequent to the end of the half, with NOPSEMA approving the Environmental Plan for the marine seismic survey and the announcement of the sale of a 10% interest in the offshore joint venture to LNG Japan. The new strategic relationship with LNG Japan also includes the potential for LNG offtake and collaboration on opportunities in new energy.

Woodside is actively marketing hydrogen offtake from its proposed H2OK liquid hydrogen project in Oklahoma, in support of our target of being ready to take an FID before year-end.

In Australia, the company is aiming to be ready to take FID in the second half of 2023 on the Woodside Solar project, which is expected to supply around 50MW of energy to Pluto LNG.
