THIRD QUARTER REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021 Appointed Ms Meg O'Neill as CEO and Managing Director .

Completed drilling of the first development well for Sangomar Field Development Phase 1 . Signed multiple agreements progressing new energy and technology opportunities . Woodside CEO Meg O'Neill said sales revenue for the third quarter climbed 19 % compared with the preceding three months on the back of stronger average realised LNG prices . " Revenue from LNG sales during the period was 27 % higher than the second quarter despite production being impacted by planned maintenance activities at the North West Shelf Project and Pluto LNG . " Our portfolio realised LNG price was $ 57 per barrel of oil equivalent and our strong realised oil price of $ 80 per barrel reflects continued demand for Vincent crude in oil blending markets . " We expect in the fourth quarter to see the benefit of stronger pricing on our realised prices , reflecting the oil price lag in many of our contracts and recent increases in gas hub prices . Our production guidance remains unchanged at 90-93 MMboe . " Global oil and gas prices have continued their upward trajectory , underlining the rebound in demand as economic activity has picked up in Asia and elsewhere . In addition , short - term gas hub prices in Europe and Asia have experienced unprecedented and sustained increases in both value and volatility with pricing indices in both markets recently reaching all - time highs . " Woodside's full - year uncontracted LNG production sold on a spot basis is expected to be slightly above 15 % and includes additional November spot volume recently released to Woodside from the North West Shelf . During the quarter , we sold six equity LNG spot cargoes and we are currently expecting approximately 17 % of produced LNG to be sold on a spot basis in the fourth quarter . " The agreement to pursue a proposed merger of Woodside and BHP's petroleum business is progressing as planned . Execution of a share sale agreement and an integration and transition service agreement is expected in November , in advance of targeted completion in the second quarter of 2022 following all approvals .
