LNG

Woodside Petroleum, the leading LNG plant operator in Western Australian, has named the new executive leadership team in the run-up to the completion in the second quarter of Woodside’s merger with the spun-off oil and gas business of Anglo-Australian commodities company BHP.

BHP Group will transfer a smaller-than-expected US$3.9 billion in oil and gas decommissioning liabilities to Woodside Petroleum when it merges its petroleum business with the Australian LNG plant operator.
