Woodside Energy Group Ltd. has blocked the sale of a stake in the Browse liquefied natural gas project in Western Australia to Inpex Corp. , eliminating the risk the Japanese company will push to route fuel to its own LNG plant. Woodside will exercise preemptive rights to buy PetroChina Co. ’s 10.67% participating interest in the venture on the same terms as the original agreement with Inpex, the Perth-based company said in a statement Friday. That includes paying $225 million plus reimbursements for PetroChina’s joint venture costs between June 30 last year and the completion date, as well as $175 million if a final investment decision is made on three fields before June 2032. Woodside’s growth in Australia hinges on the A$48.7 billion ($34.3 billion) project, the nation’s largest undeveloped gas resource. The deal removes the threat that Inpex would seek to route gas from Browse to its Ichthys LNG plant, rather than the Woodside-operated North West Shelf project, and sharpens Woodside’s incentive to see Browse through to a final investment decision. Browse is one of the biggest energy projects in Australian history, but has faced criticism for its plan to drill near the ecologically sensitive Scott Reef in the Indian Ocean and hasn’t yet received environmental approval. The move comes as Asian LNG importers are diversifying supplies away from the Middle East, as the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz chokes a fifth of global exports. “Browse to the North West Shelf remains an important growth option for Woodside,” Woodside Chief Executive Officer Liz Westcott said. Woodside’s interest in Browse will rise to 41.27%, assuming no other joint venture partner exercises its preemptive rights. BP Plc earlier this month agreed to dilute its stake to 39.33% after selling 5% to South Korea’s GS Energy Corp. The remainder is held by a venture between Mitsui & Co. and Mitsubishi Corp.
