Jul 21, 2025 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Woodside Energy's first major deal under current CEO Meg O'Neill was the $40bn merger with BHP's petroleum arm. That deal made Woodside one of the world's 10 biggest independent oil and gas producers. Four projects over the next five years, with a combined value of about $60bn, will make Woodside one of the world's biggest publicly listed LNG producers.
