Deal Insight
Woodside takes Wheatstone and Kitimat from Apache for US$2.75 bn
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
The purchase price represents a 60% discount to our published base valuation of the portfolio. This highlights, first-and-foremost, the risk associated with project delivery: the Wheatstone development is around 50% complete, but at risk of cost overruns and delays; Kitimat remains some distance from FID, and despite making progress in technical areas, has fallen behind competing North American LNG projects on the commercial side.
