Woodside and BHP to create a global energy company

Woodside and BHP



Woodside and BHP have today signed a binding share sale agreement for the merger of BHP’s oil and gas portfolio with Woodside. Woodside will acquire the entire share capital of BHP Petroleum in exchange for new Woodside shares.

The signing of the agreement follows the merger commitment deed announced on 17 August 2021.

On completion, the merger will create a global top 10 independent energy company by production and the largest energy company listed on the ASX. The combined company will have a high margin oil portfolio, long life LNG assets and the financial resilience to help supply the energy needed for global growth and development over the energy transition.

Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill said the merger will deliver enduring value for Woodside shareholders and BHP shareholders that receive Woodside shares under the merger.

“Woodside and BHP’s respective oil and gas portfolios and experienced teams are better together. The combination will deliver the increased scale, diversity and resilience to better navigate the energy transition.

“We will have the balance sheet, cash flow and financial strength to help fund planned developments in the near-term, invest in future energy opportunities and return value to our shareholders through the cycle.

“Our emissions reduction targets will apply to the combined portfolio, supporting our aspiration to be net-zero by 2050 and our strategy to supply lower-carbon energy to our customers across the globe,” she said.
