🌟 Congratulations to our graduating apprentices and trainees! 🌟 We recently welcomed 18 apprentices and trainees into roles across our operations following the successful completion of their qualifications. The cohort was celebrated at the Woodside Training Academy Graduation and Awards, held at Red Earth Arts Precinct last week. Academy Team Lead, Jacqui, commended the graduates for their achievements. “We are incredibly proud of what all of the apprentices and trainees have accomplished throughout their learning journey, and we look forward to seeing their continued success across their careers with Woodside.” Several Woodsiders were also given a special shout-out for the support they provided to the trainees and apprentices during their time at the Academy. This year, 22 Karratha-based training participants have been recruited by our partner Programmed Training Services and will be hosted at the Woodside Training Academy as they build their knowledge and skills. We are thrilled to have a diverse group joining us, including 13 females and 14 Indigenous training participants!

Woodside has entered into an agreement with Perenco to divest its Greater Angostura assets in Trinidad and Tobago for $206 million. The divestment is inclusive of Woodside’s interest in the shallow water Angostura and Ruby offshore oil and gas fields, associated production facilities and the onshore terminal. We are proud of our more than 20-year legacy of safe and reliable operations in Trinidad and Tobago, and the relationships and partnerships we have formed with the people and Government of Trinidad and Tobago. This is a great testament to our employees. Woodside will continue to operate the Greater Angostura assets until close. The transaction is targeted for close in the third quarter of 2025.
