　　伍德赛德石油公司(Woodside Petroleum Ltd.，ASX:WPL) 成立于1954年，坐落于西澳大利亚。是一家从事探测、开发和生产石油和天然气产品的能源公司。是澳大利亚国内第二大石油和天然气生产公司，Woodside Petroleum的探测历史可以追溯到1963年。那一年，Woodside Petroleum在澳大利亚西北海岸成功地获得了面积超过367，000平方公里的探测许可，而西北海岸线正是后来闻名遐尔的“西北探险架”—— North West shelf Venture。现在Woodside Petroleum是澳大利亚主要的出口公司，每年都向日本、韩国、西班牙、土耳其、美国等国家出口液体天然气。

　　Woodside is one of Australia’s top ten companies by market capitalisation, and the nation’s largest publicly-traded oil and gas exploration and production company.

　　Based in Perth, Western Australia, Woodside has major operational assets and exploration and development interests in five continents including Australia and the United States.

　　In 50 years we have grown from a pioneer oil and gas explorer to Australia’s largest independent producer of oil and gas and one of the world’s largest producers of LNG.

　　Woodside operates Australia’s largest resources project, the North West Shelf Venture in Western Australia, which produces about 40 per cent of Australia’s oil and gas.

　　In 2010, Woodside will complete construction of its $12 billion Pluto LNG Project near Karratha – Australia’s second biggest resources project. Woodside is also seeking to progress its Sunrise LNG development in the Timor Sea and the Browse LNG development in northern Western Australia. With a proved plus probable reserves to production ratio of 25 years at 2007 production rates, Woodside is poised to help meet growing global demand for clean energy.

　　Woodside was established a year after Australia's first oil discovery, the 1953 Rough Range find near Exmouth in Western Australia. Incorporated on 26 July 1954 as Woodside (Lakes Entrance) Oil Co NL, the company took its name from the small town of Woodside in Australia's southern-most mainland state, Victoria, with plans to explore a 520sqkm strip of land along Ninety Mile Beach in the south Gippsland region.

　　The company's initial 375,000-pound (A$937,000) share issue in September 1954 was over-subscribed by more than 200,000 pounds (A$500,000).

　　In 1956, led by Chairman Geoff Donaldson and Managing Director Rees Withers, Woodside secured the first offshore exploration licence to be granted in Victoria – a 2600sqkm stretch off Ninety Mile Beach that extended 2km into Bass Strait. Woodside was drilling in water up to 60 metres deep, an unremarkable depth today, but a world-record drilling depth in the 1950s.

　　After 10 years without success in southern Australia, Woodside was awarded exploration rights in June 1963 over more than 367,000sqkm off north-western Australia in what is known as the North West Shelf.

　　Exploration drilling began in 1967 and major gas and condensate discoveries were made in 1971 at Scott Reef, 425km north of Broome, and North Rankin and Angel, north of Dampier in Western Australia. In 1972, the Goodwyn gas and condensate field was discovered to the west of North Rankin.

　　These fields contained reserves of nearly 50 trillion cubic feet of gas and provided the basis of the A$19 billion North West Shelf Venture, Australia's largest resource project.

　　A contract with the State Energy Commission of Western Australia for the supply of domestic gas to industries and homes was signed in September 1980, and deliveries began in August 1984.

　　Today, Woodside has operations on five continents. It is Australia's largest publicly traded oil and gas exploration and production company and one of the nation's most successful explorers, developers and producers of oil and gas.

　　Woodside is an Australian publicly traded oil and gas exploration and production company, with a global perspective on energy supply.

　　Based in Perth, Western Australia, we have major operational assets and exploration and development interests in five continents including Australia and the United States.

　　In 50 years Woodside has grown from a pioneer oil and gas explorer to Australia’s largest independent producer of oil and gas. We operate Australia’s largest resources project, the North West Shelf Venture in Western Australia, which produces about 40 per cent of Australia’s oil and gas.

　　Our goal is to be a global leader in LNG production by 2015, when global demand for LNG is expected to exceed supply.

　　The North West Shelf Venture is the third biggest LNG producer in the world and our share of equity LNG production will rise to 6.6 million tonnes by the end of 2010, with first gas from our $12 billion Pluto LNG Project.

　　In 2008, Woodside commissioned the fifth LNG processing train at its North West Shelf facility. It is also progressing its Browse and Sunrise LNG developments in northern Australia.

　　Woodside has established a major new oil province on the offshore Enfield and Vincent fields off the North West coast of Western Australia. Woodside’s oil assets also include the $440 million Mutineer-Exeter project (8.2 per cent interest), located 150 kilometres north of Dampier, Western Australia and the $1.37 billion Laminaria-Corallina project located 550 kilometres north west of Darwin, in the Northern Territory.

　　In the state of Victoria, the Otway gas project supplies up to 10 per cent of south-eastern Australia’s current annual natural gas demand.

　　In the United States, we have a portfolio of deepwater and shallow water exploration and production titles in the Gulf of Mexico, including the Neptune oil and gas project.

　　Our company has exploration interests across Africa, including being a partner in major producing gas and condensate fields in Algeria. We also have exploration interests in Brazil and Korea.

　　In 2008, we spent about $300 million on global exploration activities including drilling new wells in Australia and Africa.

　　At Woodside, we value the contribution and commitment of our 3000 employees and contractor support base.

　　We are committed to sustainable development through our economic performance, social contribution and most importantly, continued focus on safety.

　　At Woodside, our primary business goal is simple – to deliver sustainable growth and value to our shareholders.

　　Foundation business: Woodside has an enviable portfolio of producing assets which provide strong and stable cash flow to our business. We continue to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the technical, commercial and corporate services which support our foundation business.

　　Global LNG: Woodside’s goal is to be a global leader in LNG production by 2015, when global demand for LNG is expected to exceed supply. In 2010, Woodside will complete construction of its $12 billion Pluto LNG Project near Karratha – Australia’s second biggest resources project. We are progressing our Sunrise and Browse LNG developments.

　　Complementary business: Woodside continues to seek complementary business opportunities. We are building our future through a considered approach to exploration activities and new acquisitions.
