	Woodside extends hostile bid to buy EPL - Boston.com
		Woodside Petroleum Ltd., Australia's largest publicly traded petroleum company, on Friday extended its offer of $23 per share to acquire oilfield independent Energy Partners Ltd.
		Energy Partners was founded in 1998 by Richard Bachmann, the company's chairman and chief executive officer, and has focused primarily on exploration as well as acquisition of mature oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico.
		Woodside has been involved in U.S. exploration since 1999.

	Woodside's offshore wanderings have Shell wondering - theage.com.au
		Woodside last month confirmed that it was continuing to investigate acquisitions consistent with its international growth strategy, and had screened a number of potential opportunities.
		Woodside's aspiration to expand away from its North-West Shelf gas operations have been a source of tension between the group and its 34 per cent shareholder in the past, particularly as that expansion into regions such as the Gulf of Mexico has seen it venture on to traditional Shell turf.
		Woodside is said to be close to a $1.6 billion deal to acquire the Denver-based Westport Resources, which has operations in the Rocky Mountains, the Gulf of Mexico, Texas, Louisiana and the Midwest of the United States.

	Associated Press Business News: Woodside Petroleum 2006 Profit Rises - MSN Money (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Woodside said the vote by the East Timorese Parliament this week to ratify revenue sharing agreements for the Greater Sunrise reservoirs is a step forward for a project it had shelved due to uncertainty.
		Woodside said at the end of 2006 its proven and probable reserves stood at 1.580 billion barrels of oil equivalent, up 336 million barrels from the end of 2005, largely due to the recognition of the reserves at its Pluto project off the coast of Western Australia.
		Woodside declared a final dividend of 77 cents per share, taking the full year dividend to A$1.26 a share, up from 93 cents paid in 2005.

	Woodside's LNG Plan Skips U.S. Terminals Ships Would Send Gas Direct to Pipeline BUSINESS ASIA By Bloomberg - Science - ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Woodside Petroleum said it planned to skirt concern among Californians about the safety of liquefied natural gas import terminals by delivering the fuel directly into pipelines from ships moored offshore.
		Woodside plans to deliver the LNG on ships that can convert the fuel back to gas onboard, eliminating the need for an onshore plant that might raise concerns about safety and the environment, company executives said Wednesday.
		Woodside, which has yet to build any of its own ships that are capable of converting LNG back into gaseous form, said it was developing a design similar to that used by Excelerate Energy in the Gulf of Mexico.

		Woodside downgraded its overall 2006 production forecast by 5 percent and said Chinguetti would need additional investment to reach its estimated potential of around 75,000 barrels a day.
		Woodside is also among several companies that are expanding the so-called North West Shelf gas project, which Woodside operates, in the same area.
		But Woodside recently disclosed cost overruns at the North West Shelf as the cost of producing oil and gas world-wide soars because of heavier outlays for raw materials, labor and fuel.

	Woodside ends stateside walk - theage.com.au
		Woodside Petroleum has averted, for the moment at least, the prospect of a confrontation with its major shareholder, the giant Royal Dutch/Shell group, by reluctantly abandoning plans for a $1.6 billion-plus US acquisition.
		Woodside's corporate strategy has been to expand offshore, both to diversify its portfolio away from its reliance off the North-West Shelf project and its deep-water gas reserves off northern Australia, and to help manage a near term fall-off in production and profit from the declining Laminaria oilfield in the Timor Sea.
		Speculation that Woodside was also exploring the acquisition of the oil and gas interests of the German conglomerate, Tui AD - Preussag Energie - is apparently overstated and therefore the resolve of Shell and Woodside probably won't be stress-tested in the near term.

	Dana Petroleum plc - Aberdeen, United Kingdom
		Woodside has the option to withdraw from the PSCs after satisfying an initial work commitment to acquire a minimum of 5,000 km of 2D seismic.
		Dana Petroleum plc is an independent oil and gas company focused on growth through high-impact international exploration and the development of low risk production from the UK North Sea.
		Dana's decision to farm out to Woodside is in line with the Company's strategy to (i) accelerate exploration (a minimum of 5,000 km of seismic will now be acquired, rather than 2,000 km), (ii) minimise costs to Dana (reduced from 100% to 20%), whilst (iii) retaining a significant stake in any future discovery (now 40%).

	Woodside brags about prospects - Business - Business - smh.com.au
		Senior executives of Woodside Petroleum were keen to highlight its strong production growth profile in both oil and liquefied natural gas at its annual investor briefing in Sydney yesterday.
		While Woodside raised this year's production target slightly to 59 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) from the 58 million boe guidance released in August, it noted 2006 production would rise 30 per cent as new projects came on stream.
		He said one of the best decisions Woodside made this year was to approve the development of the North-West Shelf's fifth production train with its joint venture partners without having first sold the gas through long-term contracts as had been done in the past.

		Woodside is experiencing exceptional organic growth with new projects and the expansion of current operations.
		Woodside differs very much from the other oil and gas companies I have worked with – it’s young, vibrant, energetic and rapidly expanding.
		Because Woodside in Australia has a full petroleum portfolio, there’s an upstream oil and gas business, as well as downstream LNG, domestic gas and international gas marketing, so there’s scope to work across several business sectors, nationally and internationally.

	Timor Says Australian Gas Royalty Agreement `Very Close'
		Woodside, Australia's second-biggest oil and gas producer, and its partners stopped work on the proposed $3.7 billion Sunrise gas project on Dec. 31 in the absence of an agreement between Australia and East Timor on royalties.
		East Timor and Woodside Petroleum Ltd. (ASX: WPL.ax) disagree where the gas should be processed, which has added to a broader dispute between East Timor and Australia over dividing revenues from the field.
		Woodside, which is seeking to develop Greater Sunrise at a cost of $5 billion, has long said it would prefer the gas to be transported to Wickham Point near the northern Australian city of Darwin where a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant is already being built for ConocoPhillips's COP.N Bayu-Undan project.
