伍德赛德能源公司 (Woodside Energy) 首席执行官梅格·奥尼尔 (Meg O'eill) 在休斯顿举行的 Gastech 2024 会议上表示，该公司打算保留 Driftwood LNG 项目至少 50% 的权益。该公司于 7 月同意收购 Tellurian Inc.。

奥尼尔在与媒体的简报会上表示：“我想我们希望将 50% 作为底线，但确切的结构可能会略有不同。这就是为什么我们不想太过确定，因为这将取决于（潜在合作伙伴）想要什么样的股份，他们能带来什么样的能力。”

奥尼尔表示，拜登政府暂停了 2024 年初宣布的美国新液化天然气出口审批，这让伍德赛德和 Driftwood 比其他项目略占先机。但对于整个行业而言，她质疑美国声誉的风险

Woodside Energy, which agreed to purchase Tellurian Inc. in July, intends to maintain at least 50% interest in the Driftwood LNG project, CEO Meg O’Neill said during the Gastech 2024 conference in Houston.

“I think we'd like to keep 50% as a floor, but again, the exact structure might vary a bit,” O’Neill said during a briefing with the media. “That's why we don't want to be too deterministic because again, it'll come down to what sort of stake the [potential partners] want, what kinds of capabilities they bring to the table.”

O’Neill said a pause enacted by the Biden administration on new U.S. LNG export approvals announced in early 2024 gave Woodside, and Driftwood, a slight head-start over other projects. But for the overall industry, she questioned the reputational risk for the U.S.
