Woodside Courts Aramco for Louisiana LNG Stake | OilPrice.com
Australia’s Woodside Energy and Saudi Aramco have signed an agreement to explore cooperation opportunities that may include the Saudi company buying a stake in the Louisiana LNG project.
The agreement is non-binding, Woodside said, adding that it could involve “Aramco’s potential acquisition of an equity interest in and LNG offtake from the Louisiana LNG project.”
Woodside’s CEO, Meg O’Neill, said the deal was “another demonstration of the ongoing interest Louisiana LNG is generating among high-quality potential investors, following our recent agreement with Stonepeak to acquire a 40% interest in the project’s infrastructure holding company.”
The Australian energy major announced the final investment decision on the $17.5-billion facility in late April, with first production scheduled for 2029. The facility is designed to have three liquefaction trains with a total capacity of 16.5 million tons annually.
This would boost Woodside’s total LNG capacity to 24 million tons annually by next decade, the company said earlier. Woodside also has permits to expand the Louisiana LNG facility by another two trains, which would boost its capacity to a total 27.6 million tons annually.
Woodside bought the former Driftwood LNG project as part of its acquisition of Tellurian for $1.2 billion last year. The deal “adds a scalable US LNG development opportunity to our existing approximately 10 Mtpa of equity LNG in Australia,” Woodside chief executive Meg O’Neill said at the time. Then, this year, reports emerged that Woodside was looking for partners in the projects, seeking to sell up to 50% of the ownership.
The Australian company has already sold a 40% stake in Louisiana LNG to infrastructure investors Stonepeak, with the latter committing to cover $5.7 billion of the total capex for the project, equal to 75% of the 2025 and 2026 capex. Woodside wants to sell another 20-30% in the project. Woodside eyes net operating cash income of some $2 billion annually from Louisiana LNG, beginning the 2030s.

BATON ROUGE (KNOE) – Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming is accusing Governor Jeff Landry of interfering with the state Senate race, which Fleming is a part of.
Fleming took to social media to accuse Landry of working “behind the scenes” to get Congresswoman Julia Letlow elected to the Senate.
According to Fleming, Dr. Ralph Abraham offered him the position of Deputy Director of the CDC shortly before announcing he was stepping down. Fleming said he politely declined.
A week later, news broke that Abraham is now leading Letlow’s Senate campaign.
“We know that Jeff has been heavily lobbying the Trump campaign team for the endorsement, he is pressuring the Republican Party of Louisiana and the Republican Executive Committees to support and endorse Letlow as well,” Fleming wrote on Facebook. “And, he is personally calling his donors to raise big money to save the Letlow campaign.
Landry formally endorsed Letlow for the U.S. Senate on March 4. Letlow also has the endorsement of President Donald Trump.
“We need a warrior who stands with the President to Make America Great. And there’s no greater warrior than a Louisiana mom,” Landry wrote on Facebook.
Fleming continued his commentary, asking when Landry will stop interfering with the state’s Senate race.
“Who is best to decide who represents you in Washington? Jeff Landry, or YOU?” Fleming asked.
Also in the heated race is incumbent Bill Cassidy, M.D.
Party primary elections in Louisiana are set for May 16, 2026.

Brother of Louisiana mayor accused of raping 16-year-old has a hauntingly similar criminal past
The brother of Louisiana mayor Misty Roberts — accused of raping her son’s teenage friend — is facing child sex crimes of his own.
Brandon Lee Roberts, 39, was accused of raping a teen girl and assaulting a young woman over the course of several years, KALB reported.
The alleged sexual abuse began when one of the victims was as young as 13, according to Beauregard Parish Sheriff Mark Herford.
He was arrested in October.
That comes years after his big sister – ex-mayor of DeRidder, 43-year-old Misty Roberts – allegedly got hot and heavy with her son’s 16-year-old friend at a drunken party at their home.
Roberts was allegedly caught in the tryst by her own kids.
She was arrested months later, and is currently on trial for rape charges.
