05:44 AM EDT, 10/29/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Woodside Energy (WDS) signed a 20-year sale and purchase agreement with QatarEnergy to supply up to 3 million tonnes per annum, or Mtpa, of liquefied natural gas from its Louisiana LNG project, the company said Thursday. The project, under construction near Lake Charles, Louisiana, comprises three trains with a combined capacity of 16.5 Mtpa and is targeting first LNG in 2029. Woodside will begin supplying LNG on a free-on-board basis from the start-up of Train 2, with volumes increasing to 3 Mtpa from the start-up of Train 3, it added. Woodside said the agreement builds on a previously announced supply agreement with Uniper, providing revenue certainty for a portion of Louisiana LNG production.
