FPSO
Woodside’s share of annual production in 2018 from Ngujima-Yin FPSO (Vincent field)
was 1.3 MMbbl, down from 4.0 MMbbl in 2017 due to suspension of production on
1 May 2018 to support the Greater Enfield Project. The FPSO transited to the Keppel
shipyard in Singapore to undertake maintenance and modifications as part of the
Greater Enfield Project (see further information on page 39). Production is planned
to resume from mid-2019.

Woodside’s share of annual production in 2018 from Okha FPSO (Cossack, Wanaea,
Lambert and Hermes fields) was 1.8 MMboe, down from 1.9 MMbbl in 2017 primarily
due to natural reservoir decline. Subsea life extension work will continue in 2019. There
is no major maintenance planned in 2019.
Woodside interest: 33.33%
Woodside’s share of annual production in 2018 from Nganhurra FPSO (Enfield
field) was 0.7 MMbbl, down from 0.9 MMbbl in 2017 due to natural reservoir decline.
Permanent cessation of production occurred in November 2018. In December 2018,
the FPSO departed the field for cold lay-up in Labuan, Malaysia, ahead of planned
future divestment. Plugging and abandonment of wells and the decommissioning of
remaining subsea equipment will be subject to future stakeholder engagement and
regulatory submissions.

Woodside’s share of annual production from the Liard Basin in north-eastern British
Columbia was 1.2 MMboe, down from 1.3 MMboe in 2017 primarily due to natural

to support the proposed Kitimat LNG development. Liard Basin production is
expected to cease in mid-2019.

LNG train 2. Woodside’s share of annual production in 2018 was 9.1 MMboe.
Production from LNG train 1 has been steady
since start-up in October 2017 and continues
