According to the May 2026 report filed with the US FERC, construction at the Louisiana LNG site continues as planned, with siteworks, heavy civil, and marine works ongoing.
Woodside’s Louisiana LNG said that the dry excavation program was completed last month, and the area has been flooded in preparation for marine dredging.
The company said that earthmoving, soil improvement, concrete pile installation, and marine piling installation are key areas of focus.
Pre-cast concrete piling installation continues in Plant 3 and in the permanent buildings area, while the first major mechanical equipment deliveries to the material offloading facility (MOF) are planned to commence in June.
In Plant 1 and OSBL, structural steel erection and aboveground pipe installation continue at a “higher rate of production.”
Moreover, concrete foundation work and underground piping in Plant 1, Plant 2 and OSBL is another key work front, while LNG tank installation continues progressing wall concrete activities on both tanks.
Roof panels were set inside tank 1 last month, allowing roof assembly to commence, Louisiana LNG said.
During June, Louisiana LNG will continue progressing civil, marine, and structural works, with continued emphasis on foundations and LNG tank construction, it said.
Woodside said in April that the foundation phase of Louisiana LNG, comprising three trains, reached 24 percent complete at the end of the first quarter.
Since announcing a final investment decision (FID) on the project in April 2025, the construction workforce has ramped up to almost 900 personnel, according to the firm.
Talks with partners
In June 2025, Woodside completed the previously announced sell-down of a 40 percent stake in its Louisiana LNG project to US private equity firm Stonepeak.
In addition to Stonepeak, Woodside also signed a non-binding collaboration agreement with Saudi Arabia’s energy behemoth Aramco to explore global opportunities.
This includes Aramco’s potential acquisition of an equity interest in and LNG offtake from the Louisiana LNG project.
Woodside previously said that it is continuing discussions with potential “high-quality partners” interested in acquiring equity in the project holding company Louisiana LNG.
