en.Wedoany.com Reported - Woodside's on-site construction for the Louisiana LNG project is progressing as planned, with site preparation, heavy civil works, and marine operations already underway. This information comes from a report submitted to the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in May 2026.

According to Woodside's Louisiana LNG company, dry excavation work was completed last month, and the area has been flooded in preparation for marine dredging operations. Current focus areas include earthworks, soil improvement, concrete pile installation, and offshore piling.

In the Train 3 and permanent building areas, installation of precast concrete piles continues, with the first major mechanical equipment expected to arrive at the Material Offloading Facility (MOF) in June.

In the Train 1 and Offsites and Utilities (OSBL) areas, steel structure erection and aboveground piping installation are progressing at higher productivity rates. Meanwhile, concrete foundation work and underground piping installation in the Train 1, Train 2, and OSBL areas are another key focus. Additionally, LNG tank installation continues with wall concrete work on two tanks.

Louisiana LNG stated that roof plates were installed inside Tank 1 last month, marking the start of roof assembly work. The company said that civil, marine, and structural works will continue in June, with a focus on foundations and LNG tank construction.

Woodside revealed in April that the foundation phase of the Louisiana LNG project, comprising three trains, was 24% complete as of the end of the first quarter. Since the Final Investment Decision (FID) for the project in April 2025, on-site construction personnel have increased to nearly 900.

In terms of partnerships, in June 2025, Woodside completed the sale of a 40% stake in the project to US private equity firm Stonepeak. Additionally, Woodside signed a non-binding cooperation agreement with Saudi energy giant Aramco to explore global collaboration opportunities, including Aramco's potential acquisition of an equity stake in the Louisiana LNG project and offtake of its LNG. Woodside has previously stated that it continues to engage with potential high-quality partners interested in acquiring equity in the project's holding company, Louisiana LNG.
