Woodside has signed a gas supply agreement with bp to support its Louisiana LNG project in Calcasieu Parish, marking a key milestone in the project’s development.

The deal represents the first segment of a diverse feed gas portfolio for the project, which benefits from strong connectivity to multiple producing basins and existing pipeline infrastructure. Under the agreement, Louisiana LNG Gas Management, known as GasCo—a wholly owned subsidiary of Louisiana LNG—will purchase up to 640 billion cubic feet of natural gas from bp. Deliveries to Line 200 are expected to begin in 2029.

GasCo will be responsible for overseeing the sourcing strategy for the project.

“Louisiana LNG is a compelling investment, expected to deliver significant cash generation and create long-term shareholder value,” said Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill. “Securing this gas supply agreement is an important step for the project.”

O’Neill highlighted the company’s long-standing relationship with bp and emphasized how the collaboration enables Woodside to access gas with low methane intensity through bp’s use of MiQ certification. This aligns with Woodside’s participation in the U.N. Environment Programme’s Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0) initiative.

The agreement comes as Woodside has made a final investment decision (FID) to proceed with the $17.5 billion (A$27.36 billion) development. The Louisiana LNG project will feature three liquefaction trains with a combined capacity of 16.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG. First production is slated for 2029.

Once operational, the project is expected to significantly expand Woodside’s global LNG portfolio, enabling the company to supply approximately 24 mtpa in the 2030s—equivalent to more than 5% of the projected global LNG supply.

In addition to the bp agreement, Woodside has recently signed deals with Uniper to supply 1 mtpa of LNG from the Louisiana facility and up to 1 mtpa from its broader portfolio through Woodside Energy Trading Singapore. Under the terms of the Louisiana agreement, the company will deliver 1 mtpa of LNG on a free-on-board basis for up to 13 years after the project's commercial launch.

The gas supply deal with bp reinforces Woodside’s strategy to secure long-term, reliable feed gas while advancing its commitments to lower emissions and increase transparency through certified, low-methane supply sources.
