Who We Are

Australia's Leading Energy Company

We are a global energy company founded in Australia, providing the energy to help people lead better lives.

In 1954, a small group of explorers began drilling for oil, near a Victorian town called Woodside, in the Gippsland Basin. In the early 1970s, we discovered major offshore gas fields in Western Australia. In 1984, we commissioned the North West Shelf, Australia’s largest ever resources project. And in 1989, we exported Australia’s first cargo of LNG.

Our strategy is to thrive through the energy transition by developing a low cost, lower carbon, profitable, resilient and diversified portfolio.
