The delivery of China’s first cargo of liquefied natural gas later this month will start a new era in power generation for the world’s most populous nation and will be another big step for Woodside Energy, operator and part owner of the LNG supplier, the North West Shelf Venture in Western Australia.
Although still a mid-sized exploration and production company by global standards, Woodside is establishing a growing presence in the world energy industry.
In 52 years Woodside has grown from a tiny Australian company which evolved out of the 1950s hunt for oil among the oil seeps in south-eastern Australia to being selected as the first supplier of LNG to China.
