PRODUCTION<br />
* During 2009 <strong>Woodside</strong>’s average share of gas production<br />
was approximately 39%. <strong>Woodside</strong>’s exact share of<br />
domestic gas production depends on the quantities and<br />
aggregate rate of production.<br />
This year <strong>Woodside</strong> celebrated its 25 year<br />
operatorship of the North West Shelf<br />
facilities, which have exported more than<br />
2800 LNG cargoes and currently supply<br />
around 65% of Western Australia’s pipeline<br />
gas.<br />
In 2009 there was strong performance<br />
from Trains 1, 2 and 3 and improved<br />
reliability from Trains 4 and 5, delivering<br />
approximately 57% of our foundation<br />
production.<br />
During the year, <strong>Woodside</strong> loaded 246<br />
cargoes of LNG, of which 31 were sold on<br />
the spot market. <strong>Woodside</strong>’s share of 2009<br />
LNG production was 2.40 million tonnes.<br />
Pipeline gas production was lower for the<br />
year due to decreased customer demand<br />
given re-established Varanus Island gas<br />
supply and a reduction of <strong>Woodside</strong>’s<br />
equity share in accordance with foundation<br />
agreements between the joint venture<br />
participants. Condensate production<br />
continued to be strong throughout the<br />
year as a result of the additional Stabiliser 6<br />
capacity and supply from the condensaterich<br />
Searipple and Angel reservoirs.<br />
LPG production also remained strong<br />
throughout the year. <strong>Woodside</strong>’s NWS oil<br />
production was lower in 2009 primarily due<br />
to natural field decline.<br />
Expansion continued with the North<br />
Rankin and NWS oil redevelopment<br />
projects currently underway. Progress<br />
was also made on the proposed Lady<br />
Nora oil development and the Greater<br />
Western Flank (GWF) gas and condensate<br />
development, which will assist in<br />
maintaining offshore supply and onshore<br />
capacity to around 2020.<br />
NWS contribution to <strong>Woodside</strong>'s total<br />
production (MMboe)<br />
NWS gas and condensate 57%<br />
NWS oil 6%<br />
<strong>Woodside</strong> other 37%<br />
During 2009, NWS contributed 50.9 MMboe to <strong>Woodside</strong>’s<br />
80.9 MMboe <strong>annual</strong> production.<br />

Train 5 and Stabiliser 6<br />
Modification of the main cryogenic heat<br />
exchangers on Train 5 was completed<br />
during planned maintenance in May,<br />
bringing the train to nameplate capacity.<br />
Train 5 is now contributing to increased<br />
LNG, condensate and LPG production.<br />
A sixth condensate stabilisation unit at the<br />
Karratha Gas Plant (KGP) was brought into<br />
production in May 2009 adding<br />
25,000 barrels per day of additional<br />
condensate processing capacity.<br />
Angel<br />
The Angel platform, which commenced<br />
production in Q4 2008 and supplies most<br />
of the additional gas needed for a five<br />
train operation, achieved unmanned status<br />
in mid 2009. The platform is remotely<br />
operated from the North Rankin A (NRA)<br />
platform, and gas and condensate from<br />
three wells are exported through a 50 km<br />
subsea pipeline to the NWS second<br />
trunkline.<br />
