INTRODUCTION
Disclaimer, important notes and assumptions

-
The proposed combination of Woodside Petroleum Limited (“ Woodside ”) and BHP Group Limited’s (“ BHP ”) oil and gas business by an all-stock merger as outlined in this presentation (“ Transaction ”) is non-binding and indicative only and is subject to (i) further due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive transaction documents, targeted for October 2021, and (ii) the satisfaction or waiver of certain regulatory and third party conditions precedent, including obtaining the approval of Woodside shareholders. Details of the key terms of the Transaction are outlined in the ASX announcement ‘Woodside and BHP to create a global energy company’ released 17 August 2021.
-
There is no certainty or assurance that the parties will conclude negotiations and execute definitive transaction documents on the intended schedule or at all. Nevertheless, all information in this presentation is presented on a post-merger, pro forma basis unless indicated to the contrary.
Information
-
This presentation contains information in summary form that is current as of the date of this presentation. This information does not purport to be complete, comprehensive or to comprise all the information which a shareholder or potential investor may require in order to determine whether to deal in any securities. It should be read in conjunction with Woodside’s and BHP’s other announcements released to the Australian Securities Exchange, available at www.asx.com.au.
-
This presentation has been prepared by Woodside and includes information provided by BHP (“ BHP Information ”), including information that relates to BHP petroleum estimates. Although Woodside has taken steps to confirm the BHP Information, it has not independently verified it and expressly disclaims any responsibility for it, to the maximum extent permitted by law. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the fairness, currency, accuracy, adequacy, reliability or completeness of the BHP Information.
-
Woodside has been undertaking a due diligence process in respect of the Transaction, which relies in part on the review of financial and other information provided by BHP. In addition, due diligence is ongoing. Despite making reasonable efforts, Woodside has not been able to verify the fairness, currency, accuracy, adequacy, reliability or completeness of all of the information which was provided to it. If any information provided to, and relied upon by, Woodside in its due diligence and its preparation of this presentation proves to be incorrect, incomplete or misleading, there is a risk that the actual financial position and performance of BHP’s oil and gas business (and the combined entity) may be materially different to the expectations reflected in this presentation.
-
Shareholders and investors should also note that there is no assurance that the due diligence conducted was conclusive, and that all material issues and risks in respect of the Transaction have been identified or managed appropriately. Therefore, there is a risk that issues may arise which also have a material impact on Woodside (for example, Woodside may later discover liabilities or defects which were not identified through due diligence or for which there is no contractual protection for Woodside). This could also affect the operations, financial performance and/or financial position of Woodside.
-
Certain market and industry data used in this presentation may have been obtained from research, surveys or studies conducted by third parties, including industry or general publications. Neither Woodside nor its representatives or advisers have independently verified any market or industry data provided by third parties or industry or general publications.
-
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Woodside and its related bodies corporate and affiliates (and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, consultants, contractors, agents, advisers and representatives) (together, the “ Beneficiaries ”) exclude and expressly disclaim all duty and liability (including for fault or negligence) for any expenses, losses, damages or costs incurred by you as a result of the information in this presentation being inaccurate or incomplete in any way for any reason.
No advice
- Nothing in this presentation constitutes financial product, investment, legal, tax or other advice. It does not take into account the investment objectives, financial situation or needs of any particular shareholder or investor. You should consider the appropriateness of the information in this presentation having regard to your own investment objectives, financial situation and needs and with your own professional advice, when deciding whether to deal in any securities.

APPENDIX
Notes to petroleum resource estimates
-
Unless otherwise stated, all petroleum resource estimates in this presentation are expressed on a pro forma, post-merger basis as a combination of (by arithmetic summation):
-
a) Woodside petroleum resource estimates sourced from, and quoted as at the balance date (i.e. 31 December) of the Reserves Statement in Woodside’s most recent Annual Report released to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and available at https://www.woodside.com.au/news-and-media/announcements, net Woodside share at standard oilfield conditions of 14.696 psi (101.325 kPa) and 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.56 degrees Celsius). The Woodside Reserves Statement dated 31 December 2020 has been subsequently updated by the information in the ASX announcement dated 15 July 2021; and
-
b) BHP petroleum resource estimates sourced from, and quoted as at the balance date (i.e. 30 June) of, the Additional Information in BHP’s most recent Annual Report released to ASX.
-
Other than as identified in paragraph 1(a) above, Woodside is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the Woodside Reserves Statement. All the material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the Woodside Reserves Statement continue to apply and have not materially changed.
-
Woodside has conducted (and is continuing to conduct) due diligence in relation to BHP’s petroleum estimates and the merger transaction but has not independently verified all such information and expressly disclaims any responsibility for it, to the maximum extent permitted by law. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the fairness, currency, accuracy, adequacy, reliability or completeness of BHP’s petroleum estimates. Given Woodside has not independently validated BHP’s petroleum estimates, it should not be regarded as reporting, adopting or otherwise endorsing those estimates. Woodside is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information in relation to BHP petroleum estimates in the BHP Additional Information.
-
Woodside reports its reserves net of the fuel and flare required for production, processing and transportation up to a reference point. For Woodside’s offshore oil projects, the reference point is defined as the outlet of the floating production storage and offloading facility (FPSO), while for its onshore gas projects the reference point is defined as the inlet to the downstream (onshore) processing facility.
-
Woodside uses both deterministic and probabilistic methods for estimation of its petroleum resources at the field and project levels. Unless otherwise stated, all Woodside petroleum estimates reported at the company or region level are aggregated by arithmetic summation by category. Note that the aggregated Proved level may be a very conservative estimate due to the portfolio effects of arithmetic summation.
-
‘MMboe’ means millions (10[6] ) of barrels of oil equivalent. Dry gas volumes, defined as ‘C4 minus’ hydrocarbon components and non-hydrocarbon volumes that are present in sales product, are converted to oil equivalent volumes via a constant conversion factor, which for Woodside is 5.7 Bcf of dry gas per 1 MMboe. Volumes of oil and condensate, defined as ‘C5 plus’ petroleum components, are converted from MMbbl to MMboe on a 1:1 ratio.
-
The estimates of Woodside’s petroleum resources are based on and fairly represent information and supporting documentation prepared under the supervision of Mr Jason Greenwald, Woodside’s Vice President Reservoir Management, who is a full-time employee of the company and a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Mr Greenwald’s qualifications include a Bachelor of Science (Chemical Engineering) from Rice University, Houston, Texas, and more than 20 years of relevant experience. The estimates have been approved by Mr. Ian Sylvester, Woodside’s Vice President Corporate Reserves.

APPENDIX
Additional information for US investors
Disclosure of reserve information and cautionary note to US investors
-
Unless expressly stated otherwise, all estimates of oil and gas reserves and contingent resources disclosed in this presentation have been prepared using definitions and guidelines consistent with the 2018 Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)/World Petroleum Council (WPC)/American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG)/Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (SPEE) Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS). Estimates of reserves and contingent resource in this presentation will differ from corresponding estimates prepared in accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and disclosure requirements of the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and those differences may be material. For additional information regarding BHP’s reserves, please see BHP’s annual report on Form 20F filed with the SEC.
-
This presentation also includes estimates of contingent resources. Estimates of contingent resources are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and would require substantial capital spending over a significant number of years to implement recovery. Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially. In addition, we have made no commitment to drill, and likely will not drill, all of the drilling locations that have been attributable to these quantities.
-
In connection with the Transaction, it is expected that a registration statement will be filed with the SEC. Such registration statement will be required to include, among other things, disclosure of reserves and other oil and gas information in accordance with U.S. federal securities law and applicable SEC rules and regulations (collectively, "SEC requirements"). The SEC permits oil and gas companies that are subject to domestic issuer reporting requirements under U.S. federal securities law, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only estimated proved, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC's definitions of such terms. In addition, the registration statement will include notes to the financial statements included therein that include supplementary disclosure in respect of oil and gas activities, including estimates of proved oil and gas reserves and a standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserve quantities. This supplementary financial statement disclosure will be presented in accordance with FASB requirements, which align with corresponding SEC requirements concerning reserves estimation and reporting.
No offer or solicitation
- This communication relates to the proposed Transaction between Woodside and BHP. This communication is not intended to and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to subscribe for or buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval with respect to the Transaction or otherwise, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities in the United States shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933.
Important additional information
- In connection with the proposed Transaction, Woodside intends to file with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration Statement”) to register the Woodside securities to be issued in connection with the proposed Transaction (including a prospectus therefor). Woodside and BHP also plan to file other documents with the SEC regarding the proposed Transaction. This communication is not a substitute for the Registration Statement or the prospectus or for any other document that Woodside or BHP may file with the SEC in connection with the Transaction. US INVESTORS AND US HOLDERS OF WOODSIDE AND BHP SECURITIES ARE URGED TO READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, PROSPECTUS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION (INCLUDING ALL AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS TO THOSE DOCUMENTS) THAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT WOODSIDE, BHP AND THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. Shareholders will be able to obtain free copies of the Registration Statement, prospectus and other documents containing important information about Woodside and BHP once such documents are filed with the SEC, through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. Copies of such documents may also be obtained from Woodside and BHP without charge.
