Woodside and GE sign deal to support LNG usage in Western Australia

Woodside has signed an agreement with GE Oil and Gas to work together to support the usage of LNG as a fuel source in Western Australia.

The agreement will enable customers with the option of seamless access to reliable LNG fuel supply and gas-fuelled transport and power generation solutions.

Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said: “The agreement between our companies will harness the combined experience and offerings of Woodside and GE, allowing customers to choose LNG as a fuel that will deliver significant cost and emissions reductions.

“Woodside is ideally placed to lead the transition to LNG fuelling, with world-class LNG facilities in the Pilbara in close proximity to heavy industries.”

GE Oil & Gas ANZ / PNG regional director Mary Hackett said there is considerable opportunity to develop the LNG fuel market, which offers an alternative and cleaner source of fuel.

Hackett added: “Businesses are continually under pressure to seek and adopt solutions that reduce their emissions footprint, while decreasing costs. LNG is a fuel source that is sustainable and cost effective.

“Developing new fuel technology to power industries such as marine, transportation and mining is key, and as a digital industrial company that works across multiple industries and sectors, GE looks forward to working with Woodside to deliver gas technology solutions for customers.”

Woodside is one of the largest oil and gas companies in Australia and owns producing assets located in the north-western region, including the North West Shelf Project and the Pluto LNG Plant.

It also owns multiple assets located in the Asia-Pacific region, the Atlantic margins, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America.
