Woodside Energy came to us with a challenge that had no room for guesswork.
The Challenge
They were stepping into new territory. Hydrogen. Ammonia. Decarbonising existing LNG assets. All areas where the technology is still evolving, the markets are still taking shape, and the old planning models just don’t cut it anymore.
They needed to make decisions about multibillion-dollar investments. They needed to understand the technical and financial performance of potential projects before committing a dollar to construction. They needed a tool that could model the entire lifecycle of a facility, not just a snapshot.
The Solution
We gave them a simulation and optimisation tool that models the entire lifecycle of a facility. Plant sizing. Power sourcing. Production costs. Carbon intensity. All in one place.
They can test scenarios. Compare options. Understand the trade-offs. And do it all before a single dollar is spent on construction.
The Results
Woodside Energy can now make smarter decisions about location, capacity, and technology based on lifetime performance. They have clearer decarbonisation pathways, accurate carbon footprinting, and the agility to weigh up “what-if” scenarios with confidence.
The work supports their target of 5 Mtpa CO2-e abatement and their plans to invest more than $5 billion in new energy products and lower carbon services.
Why It Matters
The energy transition is one of the most complex challenges of our time. It requires decisions that balance economics, technology, and environmental impact. Those decisions can’t be made on gut feel. They need data. They need modelling. They need optimisation.
We’re proud to support Woodside Energy as they navigate this transition.
