Woodside Energy Faces $68.6M Tax Dispute in Senegal While Securing Project Extensions

2
Woodside Energy Group Ltd. (NYSE: WDS) closed at $14.51, marking a 1.26% gain as investors weigh operational milestones against regulatory challenges. The energy firm filed arbitration at the World Bank’s ICSID over a $68.6 million tax dispute in Senegal, where it holds an 82% stake in the Sangomar offshore field. First oil flowed in June 2024, with production targets set at 100,000 barrels per day.
Concurrently, Woodside secured Australian federal approval to extend its North West Shelf LNG project through 2070. The dual developments—one contentious, one strategic—frame the company’s August 18, 2025 earnings report as a pivotal disclosure for energy sector observers.
