“At a time of increased uncertainty in the global LNG trade, we are excited to begin shipping a new and reliable source of natural gas from North America’s Pacific Coast to customers around the globe,” said Justin Bird, chief executive officer of Sempra Infrastructure. “This achievement underscores the exceptional talent of the entire ECA LNG Phase 1 team and our company’s steadfast commitment to safe and strong project execution.”

“The start-up of ECA LNG, whose strategic location provides privileged access to Asian markets, strengthens the quality of our integrated LNG portfolio in North America. TotalEnergies is pleased to contribute to the project’s ramp-up by exporting its first LNG cargoes,” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TotalEnergies.

Once the facility begins commercial operations, ECA LNG Phase 1 will be the first LNG liquefaction facility on Mexico’s Pacific Coast. Due to its strategic location, it creates a competitive advantage for shippers from the facility, who have the unique ability to export U.S. natural gas to Asia and other Pacific Basin markets through the shortest shipping route, thus reducing transportation times, costs and uncertainty while providing customers with greater access to competitively priced U.S. natural gas.

ECA LNG Phase 1 is a joint venture with TotalEnergies and consists of a single liquefaction train with nameplate capacity of 3.25 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of LNG. The project is supported by long-term sale and purchase agreements with TotalEnergies and Mitsui & Co.

The project is expected to reach substantial completion in the summer of 2026, with sales under long-term sale and purchase agreements commencing shortly thereafter, when the facility begins commercial operations. A second and significantly larger phase is also under active development at the same site.

The ECA LNG facility is a cornerstone of Sempra Infrastructure’s dual-coast LNG portfolio. With projects along the U.S. Gulf Coast and Mexico’s Pacific Coast, Sempra Infrastructure offers customers the flexibility and reliability needed to meet growing demand for competitively priced U.S. natural gas.

  - TotalEnergies enlèvera 1,7 Mtpa de GNL, notamment vers l’Asie
  - TotalEnergies sera l’unique acheteur du GNL pendant toute la phase de démarrage

TotalEnergies a expédié vers l’Asie le tout 1er cargo produit par ECA LNG Phase 1, un terminal d’exportation de gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) en cours de mise en service sur la côte Pacifique du Mexique (Basse Californie). TotalEnergies, qui détient 16,6 % d’ECA LNG aux côtés de l’opérateur Sempra Infrastructure, enlèvera 1,7 million de tonnes par an de GNL (Mtpa) pendant 20 ans à compter du début des opérations commerciales. TotalEnergies sera l’unique acheteur du GNL produit pendant toute la phase de démarrage progressif.

Une usine GNL bien placée pour servir les marchés asiatiques

ECA LNG Phase 1 comprend un train de liquéfaction d’une capacité nominale de 3,25 Mtpa, alimenté via gazoduc par du gaz naturel américain provenant du bassin permien (Texas et Nouveau-Mexique). ECA LNG a su tirer parti des synergies avec l’usine de regazéification existante pour optimiser les coûts de construction. Une deuxième phase est également en cours de développement sur le même site.

Grâce à sa localisation stratégique sur la côte ouest du Mexique, ECA LNG permet d’exporter du gaz naturel américain vers l’Asie et les autres marchés du bassin Pacifique par la route maritime la plus courte, réduisant ainsi les délais et les coûts de transports. L’usine sera progressivement mise en service durant l’été 2026, et les contrats de vente de GNL à long terme entreront en vigueur peu de temps après, lors du démarrage des opérations commerciales.

« L’entrée en production d’ECA LNG, dont la localisation stratégique offre un accès privilégié aux marchés asiatiques, renforce la qualité de notre portefeuille intégré de GNL en Amérique du Nord. TotalEnergies se réjouit de contribuer à son démarrage en exportant les premières cargaisons de GNL », a déclaré Patrick Pouyanné, Président-directeur général de TotalEnergies.

« Dans un contexte d’incertitude accrue sur le marché mondial du GNL, nous sommes ravis de commencer à exporter une nouvelle source fiable de gaz naturel depuis la côte Pacifique de l’Amérique du Nord vers des clients du monde entier », a déclaré Justin Bird, directeur général de Sempra Infrastructure. «  Cette étape majeure souligne le talent exceptionnel de toute l’équipe d’ECA LNG Phase 1 et notre engagement indéfectible pour mener à bien ce projet dans le respect des plus hauts standards de sécurité et d’excellence opérationnelle. »

“We envisage around 75 subsea developments towards 2035. To realise these resources, we need to develop smaller discoveries faster and at a lower cost than today. This requires significant changes in how we plan and execute subsea projects. Our ambition is to halve both costs and execution time through simpler processes and standardised solutions together with our partners and suppliers,” says Gunnar Nakken, senior vice president for projects and subsea on the Norwegian continental shelf in Equinor.

Together, the four projects will contribute between 130 and 220 million barrels of oil equivalent to future production from the Norwegian continental shelf.

“We are strengthening competition and predictability and giving suppliers the opportunity to deliver on several projects at the same time. It is essential to reduce costs, and the response from the industry confirms significant improvement potential. We will now scale this collaboration to make marginal discoveries profitable and maintain activity levels on the Norwegian continental shelf,” says Jannicke Nilsson, chief procurement officer.

These are the contracts:

  - TechnipFMC will deliver subsea production systems for Brime, Omega Sør and Tyrihans Nord. They will also install rigid pipelines on the Troll field. The linepipe will be supplied by Tenaris.
  - OneSubsea will deliver the subsea production system for the TWIN project, as well as umbilicalsfor all the projects.
  - Ocean Installer has been awarded the contract for marine operations. They will install and connect the subsea facilities, control cables and flexible pipelines.
  - NOV will deliver flexible pipelines to Omega Sør, Tyrihans Nord and Brime.

“This is equipment with long lead times, so we need to invest early if we are to halve the time from discovery to production. We order standard equipment that can be used by later projects if one of the projects in the first wave is not sanctioned by the partnership or approved by the authorities,” says Nakken.

The relevant subsea projects are:

  - TWIN, which will be tied back to Troll A
  - Omega Sør, which is planned to be tied back to Snorre A
  - Tyrihans Nord, which is planned to be produced via the Kristin platform
  - Brime, which is planned to be tied back to Gullfaks C via Visund Sør existing template on the seabed

So far, only the TWIN project has been sanctioned by the owners and in accordance with the Petroleum Act the partnership has sent notification to the Ministry of Energy regarding the development. The remaining projects will be processed and sanctioned in accordance with the decision-making processes of the partnerships and the authorities.

The work program, designed to confirm and enhance drillable prospects within the Blocks, is on schedule and comprises the following operations:

Reprocessing the 6,167 sq kms of 3-D seismic data

On behalf of BLU and TTE, TGS ASA (Oslo), (“TGS”) a leading provider of advanced data in the energy sector, is reprocessing the entire 3D seismic data set. This important process is on schedule, over 50% complete, with preliminary results to date. The primary goal of the data reprocessing is to enhance the seismic character/definition and the AVO content (Direct Hydrocarbon Indicator) of the original 3-D seismic survey completed by TGS in 2013.

Sea Bottom Survey: Multi Beam Echo Sounder Survey, Seabed Geochemical Sampling & Heat Flow Measurements

On behalf of BLU and TTE, GeoPartners Limited, a London based international company specialized in providing geophysical and geological services, is conducting within the Blocks a Multi-Beam Eco Sounder survey (“MBES”) comprising an area of 4,045 km² in water depths ranging from 500 meters to 3,500 meters. GeoPartners is utilizing the R/V GYRE vessel owned and operated by TDI-Brooks, a Texas based offshore survey company with more than 30 years of experience providing geotechnical investigations, geochemical seep surveys and marine science worldwide. This data acquisition commenced on June 19, 2026, with expected completion in 3Q 2026 allowing for early integration into a refined 3-D seismic data interpretation.

  - The MBES is designed to map underwater terrain, aiding in identifying sea bottom anomalies, supporting the safe selection of future drilling locations. More specifically, the MBES identifies seabed geomorphologies (pockmarks, mud volcanoes, faults, etc.) and the presence of anomalous features (carbonates, outcrops, bacterial mats, etc.); it also performs water column imaging for the detection of anomalies related to seepage of hydrocarbons through the sea bottom.

  - Seabed Geochemical Sampling is conducted through piston coring to collect evidence of migrated mature hydrocarbons (detection of fluorescent/natural oil compounds, hydrocarbon chromatography, thermogenic origin, etc.)

  - Heat Flow Measurements are being performed to collect information about the relative sediment temperature and the thermal history of the undrilled Harper basin.

This project completion is expected by 4Q 2026, allowing for the integration of the data into a refined 3-D data re-interpretation of the numerous leads (basin floor fans) within the Blocks.

All of these program initiatives are focused on identifying drillable prospects and assisting in the selection of optimal drilling locations.

Sergio Laura, BluEnergies’ VP of Exploration stated, “The West Africa Transform Margin, where the Harper basin is located, and its conjugate South American Margin are regions where basin floor fan plays are being actively and successfully explored, developed and produced. The recent, hectic activity by major oil companies in securing licenses for deepwater acreage along the entire Africa west margin is confirmation that the early move by BluEnergies in the Harper basin (2023) was a valid one. The Jubilee field in Ghana, the Venus field in Namibia, and the recent discoveries offshore Cote d’Ivoire have proven the significance of basin floor fan plays along the African margin.”

About BluEnergies Ltd.

  - Agreement brings long-term commitments for Ruwais LNG to more than 90% of the project’s 9.6 mtpa capacity, with nearly 23% committed to Japanese customers

ADNOC announced today the signing of a 15-year Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with INPEX CORPORATION (INPEX), Japan’s largest exploration and production (E&P) company, for the supply of 1 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Ruwais LNG project.

The agreement was announced during a visit to Japan by His Excellency Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, Managing Director and Group CEO of ADNOC, and Executive Chairman of XRG, where he is leading a delegation for meetings with senior Japanese government and business leaders to strengthen the UAE’s longstanding energy partnership with Japan and build on six decades of trusted cooperation.

Nasser Al Muhairi, Acting CEO of ADNOC Downstream Industry, Marketing & Trading, and Chairman of Ruwais LNG, said: “This SPA with INPEX marks the first long-term LNG agreement announced following the launch of ADNOC and XRG’s integrated global LNG marketing and trading platform, demonstrating how we are bringing more LNG molecules, greater market access and enhanced commercial flexibility to our customers. It builds on ADNOC’s decades-long energy partnership with Japan, advances the commercialization of Ruwais LNG and reinforces strong market confidence in the project. As ADNOC and XRG target 47 mtpa of combined marketable LNG by 2035, Ruwais LNG will be a key source of reliable, flexible and lower-carbon supply for customers in Asia and around the world.”

The agreement further strengthens the longstanding relationship between INPEX and the ADNOC Group. It aligns with INPEX Vision 2035, announced in February 2025, under which INPEX aims to strengthen its LNG portfolio and supply LNG more flexibly to complement the LNG from its own projects. INPEX is also a long-standing upstream partner of ADNOC, holding participating interests across a number of Abu Dhabi’s offshore and onshore concessions.

The LNG will be primarily sourced from the Ruwais LNG project, which is under development in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Abu Dhabi, and is scheduled to start commercial operations in 2028. The SPA marks another milestone in ADNOC’s global LNG expansion strategy and reinforcing the company’s position as a leading global supplier of lower-carbon LNG.

To date, 90% of the Ruwais LNG project’s 9.6 mtpa production capacity has been committed to international buyers across Asia and Europe through long-term arrangements. The Ruwais LNG plant will be the first LNG export facility in the Middle East and Africa region to operate on clean power, making it one of the lowest-carbon intensity LNG plants in the world. The facility will leverage artificial intelligence and the latest technologies to enhance safety and efficiency, minimize emissions and drive operational excellence.

ADNOC Gas announced in November 2024 that it expects to acquire ADNOC’s 60% stake in the Ruwais LNG project at cost, estimated at around $5 billion, in 2028. Upon completion, the project, comprising two 4.8 mtpa liquefaction trains with a combined capacity of 9.6 mtpa, will more than double ADNOC Gas’ existing operated LNG production capacity to around 15 mtpa.

  - The United States is a core region for XRG's global investment portfolio

XRG has completed the acquisition of an additional equity interest in Trains 4 and 5 of Rio Grande LNG at the Port of Brownsville, Texas. The transaction deepens XRG's exposure to one of the world's largest Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) export facilities by giving it equity interests across all five trains currently under construction.

By completing this transaction, XRG strengthens its strategic presence in the U.S. LNG sector, consistent with its strategy to build a top-tier global gas portfolio, with North America a core growth region. The United States is a strategic region for XRG, supported by abundant resources, rising power demand, AI-led infrastructure growth, reindustrialization, industrial expansion, and a favorable investment environment.

This investment demonstrates XRG's confidence in the long-term role of U.S. LNG in supporting global energy security. It also reflects the central role the U.S. will continue to play in XRG's global strategy and in strengthening wider U.S.-UAE energy cooperation.

Mohamed Al Aryani, President of XRG's International Gas business, said: "Completing this transaction marks an important step in the execution of XRG's global gas strategy and our ambition to build a resilient, integrated, and globally scaled platform across gas, LNG, and chemicals. The world needs reliable energy resources as well as export infrastructure, pipelines, storage, and market access required to move energy where it is needed. Rio Grande LNG is a textbook example of a world-class infrastructure project that helps connect advantaged U.S. gas supply with international demand."

"We are pleased to have XRG as a strategic investor across all five trains at Rio Grande LNG," said Matt Schatzman, NextDecade Chairman and CEO. "This investment reflects strong confidence in the quality and scale of Rio Grande LNG and reinforces our ability to deliver a world-class LNG facility."

With this transaction, XRG increased its overall participation in Rio Grande LNG, which is operated by NextDecade, by acquiring an additional 7.6% equity interest in Trains 4 and 5 of the project from an acquisition vehicle of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a part of BlackRock. The transaction builds on XRG's initial investment in Rio Grande LNG, through which the company acquired an indirect 11.7% stake in Phase 1 of the project, including Trains 1, 2, and 3, also through GIP. The transaction received all customary regulatory approvals, including clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).

XRG's North American portfolio already includes significant positions across LNG, chemicals and advanced materials, including Rio Grande LNG, and Borouge International's platform through NOVA Chemicals.

Trains 4 and 5: scaled capacity and long-term offtake underpinning

Together, Trains 4 and 5 are expected to have total LNG production capacity of approximately 12 MTPA. Each train has secured long-term LNG offtake agreements with high-credit-quality customers, providing strong commercial underpinning for the project.

Rio Grande LNG is a significant contributor to the U.S. economy, providing around 7,500 construction jobs during peak construction and approximately 700 long-term jobs in the Rio Grande Valley once the facility is operating.

Rio Grande LNG has approximately 30 million tonnes per annum of liquefaction capacity currently under construction across the 5 trains and is expected to begin production in 1H 2027, with first gas into the facility in the second half of 2026. As part of XRG's initial investment in the project, ADNOC Trading also entered into a 20-year LNG offtake agreement for 1.9 MTPA from Train 4, further strengthening the project's long-term commercial underpinning.

XRG Gas Strategy

XRG's gas strategy connects advantaged supply with growing demand centers through an integrated view of the value chain — from upstream resources and processing to pipelines, LNG, regasification, power, chemicals, and industrial end markets.

This integrated approach allows XRG to identify value across the system, including the infrastructure, partnerships, and route-to-market capabilities required to deliver molecules to customers reliably and at scale.

While before, installation parameters – temperatures, pressures, flows – were adjusted manually, operators now set the desired product quality, and the APC software automatically calculates the optimal settings for the units, every minute.

As a result, each unit operates based on a digital autopilot that adjusts key technological parameters in real time. This approach has consistently increased the yields of high‑value products and enabled the installations to run at maximum capacity under stable and predictable conditions.

Thanks to the adjustments made through the predictive control of processes and operational flows, as well as the maintenance works carried out according to the scheduled turnaround programs, the refinery achieved new operational records last year.

“The digital component helps us streamline processes, adapt production recipes, and meet our objectives. Alongside the crude oil volumes received, which reached historic levels, and the alignment with market demand, the system was a central element of last year’s performance. Advanced Process Control is also used for its predictive capabilities, as it significantly reduces any risks associated with production flows,” stated Sorin Graure, General Manager of Rompetrol Rafinare.

Romania’s largest refinery reached maximum production levels in 2025 for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, kept technological losses at only 0.78%, and recorded a new historic low for the Energy Intensity Index (EII) – 92.5 points.

These results were strongly supported by the volume of crude processed, ensured with the support of KazMunayGas, which also generated the highest yield of white products (gasoline, diesel, LPG, jet, propylene) ever achieved: 87.1% wt.

The refinery’s utilization rate increased to 98.1%, supported by solid operational reliability and favorable market conditions, with an average feedstock throughput of over 16,000 tons/day. Petromidia also reported a record level of fuel gas – 205,000 tons/year, contributing to reduced natural gas consumption and optimized processing costs.

Petromidia has been using the APC system across all installations since 2020, with the role of identifying, in real time, the optimal operating points to increase capacities, improve product quality, reduce energy consumption, and limit losses.

By optimizing operational processes, the system also helps reduce fuel consumption and, implicitly, CO₂ emissions, while ensuring much stricter control over key installation parameters.

Rompetrol Rafinare continues to implement advanced solutions for the digital transformation of the Petromidia Năvodari refinery, in the operational area and in operator skills development, aiming to ensure refinery operation at the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and technological performance.

The company implemented last year the first stage of a modern operator training system at Petromidia – OTS (Operator Training Simulator) – which supports the development of technical skills, contributes to safe operation, minimizes human error, and reduces reaction time in critical situations.

The significant shareholders of Rompetrol Rafinare are KMG International (54.63% – direct and indirect) and the Romanian State, through the Ministry of Energy (44.7%).

Vivo Energy, the leading African energy distribution company – which now operates around 4,200 service stations across 29 markets – has today completed the acquisition of TotalEnergies Marketing Jordan, including its network of around 180 service stations, together with its commercial fuels and lubricants operations.

The acquisition marks the introduction of the Engen brand to Jordan. Now present in 13 of Vivo Energy’s markets, Engen is Vivo Energy’s owned retail brand with a strong reputation for quality and service – and the number one fuel brand in South Africa, where a network of over 1,000 Engen service stations sells one in every four litres of fuel. It will replace TotalEnergies on Jordan's forecourts over the coming months.

Following the announcement of the transaction in November 2025, all parties worked hard to secure regulatory approvals and fulfilment of conditions precedent, which have now been completed.

Commenting on the transaction, Stan Mittelman, CEO of the Vivo Energy Group, said: “This is an important milestone for Vivo Energy as we expand beyond Africa into Jordan – a market with strong fundamentals and a team we have great respect for. Vivo Energy, and our retail brand Engen, are built on African values of customer service and community, which we believe have a real story to tell in Jordan. We look forward to supporting continued growth in the market.”

Adel Saadallah, the new Managing Director for Vivo Energy Jordan added: “I am genuinely proud to be appointed to lead Vivo Energy’s business in Jordan, as we expand into this new market. I have been part of Vivo Energy since the company was founded and have seen first-hand how our model creates businesses that last.”

Vivo Energy’s success is driven by empowered local management teams, serving customers and stakeholders effectively – a model that it will bring to Jordan.

Saadallah concluded: “Today’s announcement is a change of ownership, but employees, dealer contracts and customer relationships carry over unchanged. My priority will be to work alongside the existing team, build on what is working well and make the transition as smooth as possible for everyone. We recognise that 2026 is a year of pride for Jordan: the Kingdom’s 80th Independence Day anniversary and the national team’s first ever World Cup appearance. We will work to reflect this pride in our programmes – putting Jordan and Jordanians first.”

A first-of-its-kind initiative in Canada

The HOA contemplates the development of a new approximately one million barrel per day crude oil pipeline system connecting Alberta to Canada's West Coast, and a related export terminal (the "Project"). The proposed pipeline will leverage the existing Trans Mountain pipeline right of way, also known as the southern route. The Project is being advanced as a national priority that brings together the Government of Canada, the Province of Alberta, Indigenous partners, and industry. Under the framework in the HOA, the Project would be held through a development company jointly owned by the Government of Canada, the Province of Alberta, and Pembina, with a working interest to be reserved for Indigenous partners to acquire at commercial operations. Pembina's economic interest through construction will be 10 percent with the opportunity for up to an additional 10 percent once the Project enters commercial operation. Trans Mountain Corporation will serve as the lead Project proponent, responsible for construction of the Project, the regulatory process, stakeholder and Indigenous engagement, and subsequent operation of the asset.

A defined, expertise-led role

Pembina would participate as an experienced industry operator able to provide an independent perspective on cost, schedule, and execution — complementing, rather than replacing, the lead Project proponent. In this capacity, Pembina would bring more than 70 years of safe, disciplined and cost-effective project development and execution working alongside the experienced team at Trans Mountain Corporation. As part of this, Pembina, through the HOA, is in early stages of reviewing the development plans and initial capital cost estimates for the Project; this due diligence work stream will continue until signing of definitive agreements, which is targeted for September 2026.

A measured, disciplined and risk-managed approach

Consistent with its long-standing approach to capital allocation, Pembina will evaluate participation in the Project through a disciplined and rigorous investment framework. The proposed multi-stakeholder structure is intended to appropriately align risk and responsibility among participants and includes protection for Pembina related to matters such as cost overruns and returns. Pembina has full discretion over any final investment decision ("FID") for its interest and shall have no at-risk development capital prior to FID. Pembina will assess the opportunity against defined Project milestones throughout the development period and will evaluate its participation in the context of its longstanding prudent capital allocation guardrails and its broader development portfolio. The Company intends to provide updates at appropriate milestones as the evaluation of the Project progresses.

"The Project represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to advance nation-building energy infrastructure that strengthens Canada's economy and expands access to global markets for Canadian energy," said Scott Burrows, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pembina. "We are proud to bring our development and execution expertise to a project of this national significance. Our participation will be evaluated through the same disciplined lens we apply to every capital decision. We have approached our involvement in a way that is measured, that preserves our financial flexibility, and that incorporates meaningful protections — so that any participation remains consistent with our financial guardrails and creates durable value for our shareholders."

The contract value includes mobilisation and is calculated based on a day rate below USD 400,000 over seven rig years. The agreement applies to the Cat D rigs Transocean Enabler (three years), Transocean Encourage (two years) and Transocean Endurance (two years). Integrated drilling services are optional and not included in the rate. The work scope for the rigs has not yet been allocated.

“We are pleased to have secured rig capacity on competitive terms to deliver on our production plans towards 2035. These are flexible rigs that can, among other things, be used to drill subsea projects and increased recovery wells. This is essential to maintaining high production from the Norwegian continental shelf and stable energy deliveries to Europe,” says Jannicke Nilsson, chief procurement officer in Equinor.

Globally, the ambition is to deliver more than 125 wells annually, around 75 subsea projects and approximately 200 well plugging operations towards 2035.

“Our ambition for the Norwegian continental shelf is production of 1.3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2035. Around 70 per cent of that production will come from new wells. We have now secured three strong workhorses that we know well. The rigs will strengthen our ability to deliver more wells faster and more cost-effectively, while maintaining a high safety level,” says Rune Nedregaard, senior vice president for Wells.

The Cat D rigs are semi-submersible floating rigs, adapted to Norwegian winter conditions and originally built on order from Equinor. They have operated on the Norwegian continental shelf since they were completed at the yard in 2015 and 2016. Transocean Endurance has operated in Australia since 2023 and is now being brought back to Norway, increasing rig capacity on the Norwegian continental shelf.

This positions Woodside as operator of one of Australia’s most significant domestic energy assets. The Gippsland Basin assets have supplied energy to Australian homes and industry for decades and remain central to east coast energy security.

Woodside CEO Liz Westcott said completion of the transition marked an important milestone for the company’s Australian operations.

“Today marks a new chapter for the Gippsland Basin joint ventures as Woodside assumes operatorship of these nationally significant energy assets which play a critical role in supplying gas to Australian homes and businesses.

“As operator, Woodside’s focus is on maintaining safe, reliable operations and supporting continued energy security for the east coast.

“Our company was established more than 70 years ago and named after the small town of Woodside in Gippsland, where our founders first began exploring for oil. We are proud to be returning to Victoria as these assets’ operator and look forward to continuing to contribute to eastern Australia’s energy future.

”One hundred per cent of Woodside’s gas production from the Gippsland Basin is supplied to the domestic market.”

Operatorship of the GBJV and KUJV strengthens Woodside’s Australian portfolio and builds on its experience managing complex, long-life energy assets.

The transition has been designed to ensure continuity of operations, with experienced Gippsland teams continuing to support safe and reliable production.

Woodside will apply its operating systems, governance and technical capability to support the next phase of the assets’ lifecycle, including ongoing production, disciplined investment and planning for late-life asset management and decommissioning.

As operator, Woodside will also continue to assess development opportunities within the Gippsland Basin Joint Venture, with identified prospects that have the potential to deliver up to 200 petajoules of additional gas supply to the east coast market, leveraging existing infrastructure.

The company will continue to work closely with regulators, joint venture participants, customers and local communities.

Background

he Gippsland Basin assets are a key source of gas for Australia’s east coast domestic market.

The Gippsland assets include the Gippsland Basin Joint Venture (GBJV) and the Kipper Unit Joint Venture (KUJV).

Woodside and Esso Australia Resources each hold a 50% participating interest in the GBJV and 32.5% participating interest in the KUJV.

The transition involves the transfer of operatorship (not asset ownership) from Esso Australia Resources to Woodside.

Approximately 1,200 people support Gippsland Basin operations across offshore and onshore facilities, including the Longford Gas Plant and Long Island Point processing facility.

Natural gas production from the Gippsland Basin assets is 100% dedicated to the Australian domestic market and currently supplies approximately 40% of Australian east coast domestic gas demand. The Gippsland Basin is the largest source of gas for the eastern Australian domestic market, which spans Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory and South Australia.

Un plafonnement pour protéger les clients dans les zones rurales

Dans les zones rurales, où les automobilistes sont particulièrement dépendants de leur véhicule pour leurs déplacements quotidiens, la baisse des prix des carburants met généralement plus de temps à se répercuter. En effet, ces stations-service ont constitué leurs stocks à des niveaux de prix plus élevés et, compte tenu d’une consommation plus faible, la baisse des cours met davantage de temps à se refléter dans les prix de vente des carburants.

Dans ce contexte, la Compagnie met en place un plafonnement à 1,99 €/L sur l’essence et le diesel dans ses 1 200 stations rurales en France, pour les mois de juillet et d’août.

Des prix plafonnés sur les stations d’autoroute pour les week-ends de grands départs

Afin d’accompagner les Français lors des départs en vacances d’été, la Compagnie étend également le plafonnement à 1,99 €/L pour l’essence et le diesel à ses stations-service autoroutières, lors de cinq week-ends de grands départs, en juillet et en août.

  - 32% interest in Vaca Muerta blocks supports XRG's strategy to build a resilient global gas and LNG platform

XRG and Eni have each signed agreements with YPF for the acquisition of a 32% interest in three upstream blocks, with YPF retaining the remaining 36%. Completion of the transactions remains subject to customary regulatory approvals. The upstream blocks are expected to form a core part of the integrated 12 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) ARGENTINA Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) project, complementing XRG's previously announced joint development agreement with YPF and Eni, and advancing key project components in line with the development plan.

For XRG, the proposed investment supports its strategy to build a resilient global gas and LNG platform by securing upstream participation in one of the world's most significant unconventional gas basins and developing its role in a major new LNG export opportunity designed to connect Vaca Muerta's gas resources with global markets.

YPF operates the Meseta Buena Esperanza, Aguada Villanueva, and Las Tacanas upstream blocks in the unconventional Vaca Muerta basin, located onshore Argentina. These blocks are expected to form a core upstream component of ARGENTINA LNG's integrated development, helping to anchor a large-scale upstream-midstream platform designed to unlock Vaca Muerta's gas resources and support the development of a major new long-term LNG supply source for the global LNG market.

By securing upstream participation in one of the world's most significant unconventional gas basins, XRG will secure its access to long-term resource depth and take a meaningful position in the broader ARGENTINA LNG project. The proposed investment also establishes a strong partnership with YPF, Argentina's national energy champion and a leading force in the development of Vaca Muerta, creating an attractive platform to help advance one of the most promising new LNG export opportunities in the global market. This marks a major step in XRG's ambition to build a resilient, integrated, and globally scaled gas platform spanning gas, LNG, and chemicals.

The upstream assets are expected to supply the gas volumes needed to feed floating LNG units, while also supporting the monetization of condensates associated with gas production.

Mohamed Al Aryani, President of International Gas, XRG, said: "Argentina has the potential to play an increasingly important role in meeting the world's growing demand for natural gas, and projects such as ARGENTINA LNG will be important to unlocking that opportunity. Vaca Muerta is one of the world's most attractive gas resources, and this proposed transaction gives XRG a direct role in helping advance a project with the scale, quality and long-term potential to become a significant new source of reliable LNG supply for global markets. We are also pleased to be partnering with YPF, a highly capable and strategic partner with deep expertise in Argentina's energy sector and a leading role in developing Vaca Muerta, and with Eni a leading developer of Floating LNG projects."

"We are taking another step forward in the development of Argentina LNG. The entry of Eni and XRG into the upstream segment strengthens the project's value chain and allows us to move toward its development on a global scale," said Horacio Marín, Chairman and CEO of YPF.

Eni Chief Operating Officer Global Natural Resources, Guido Brusco, commented: "Our entry into Vaca Muerta unconventional basin, alongside YPF and XRG, strengthens Eni's ability to develop world-scale gas resources and convert them into competitive LNG for international markets. Vaca Muerta is one of the world's richest unconventional basins in terms of resources: our participation positions us across the entire value chain, from Argentine upstream to the supply of LNG to international customers, creating value while contributing to global energy security."

Once completed, the transaction will add to XRG's growing global gas and LNG portfolio, which includes interests in Rio Grande LNG in the United States, the Absheron offshore gas and condensate field in Azerbaijan, the Offshore Block 1 gas concession and condensate field in Turkmenistan, and the Area 4 concession in Mozambique's Rovuma basin, including the planned Coral North FLNG and Rovuma LNG onshore development projects. Together these investments support XRG's ambition to build a geographically diversified, integrated gas platform across key supply bases, LNG corridors, and long-term growth markets.

The Caiman-1 exploration well, drilled in 90 metres of water to a total depth of 5,065 metres, encountered multiple oil-bearing Cretaceous sandstone intervals. The Swartzia Aspasia Complex-1 (SAC-1) exploration well, located 8 kilometres east of Sloanea-1 gas discovery in 610 metres of water depth, and drilled to a total depth of 4,560 metres, intersected gas-bearing sandstone reservoirs. Drill stem testing (DST) demonstrated strong gas deliverability, indicating good reservoir quality.

The Roystonea-2 appraisal well, drilled 7 kilometres north of Roystonea-1, confirmed the lateral extent of oil-bearing reservoirs, with DST results indicating strong oil productivity, further validating the quality and extent of the reservoir system.

PETRONAS operates Block 52 with 80 per cent participating interest, while the remaining 20 per cent is held by Paradise Oil Company N.V. (POC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V. (Staatsolie). PETRONAS currently holds interests in eight offshore blocks in Suriname - Blocks 9, 10, 48, 52, 53, 63, 64, and 66.

PETRONAS’ Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President & Chief Executive Officer of Upstream, Mohd Jukris Abdul Wahab, said, “Eight successful wells in Suriname with recoverable resources of more than one billion barrels of oil equivalent unlocked, reflect the strength of our technical capabilities, disciplined execution, and strong partnership in Suriname. Block 52 sits within a highly prospective corridor, the Golden Lane, and we remain focused on translating this resource base into long-term value for Suriname and for PETRONAS.

“We thank Staatsolie for the support and collaboration in advancing our progress in the country. PETRONAS remains committed to Suriname’s broader ambitions in building local capability, developing human capital and creating shared value for both our nations,” said Jukris.

These successes build on the commerciality declared for the Sloanea gas field in November 2025, with a final investment decision on its development targeted by the end of this year.

They further strengthen the case for multiple oil and gas developments in Block 52 and Suriname’s emergence as a significant deepwater hub in the Suriname-Guyana basin.

As part of its commitment to Suriname, PETRONAS has awarded scholarships to seven Surinamese students currently in their first semester at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) in Malaysia. These students are the first cohort from Suriname to pursue higher education in the country under the PETRONAS scholarship programme.

"The launch of HVO100 sales in Slovakia marks another step in our consistent efforts to build ORLEN’s regional offering of low-emission fuels. Following the rollout of HVO100 in Germany and the expansion of its availability in the Czech Republic and Austria, we are now bringing the fuel to the Slovak market, beginning with a pilot in Bratislava. This will allow us to assess potential demand in a live market environment, better understand customer needs and test our network’s operational readiness before rolling out the product more widely. HVO100 illustrates how fuels of this type can help reduce emissions from transport without requiring any changes on the part of users of diesel-powered vehicles. This is a key pillar of our strategy: to develop an advanced, competitive fuel portfolio while responding to the challenges of the energy transition," said Marek Balawejder, Vice President of the Management Board for Consumer & Products at ORLEN.

Following the pilot launch at an ORLEN service station in Bratislava, the fuel is available to users of both passenger cars and heavy-duty vehicles. HVO100 is compatible with most modern diesel engines, providing a lower-emission alternative to conventional diesel without requiring modifications to refuelling infrastructure or any significant changes on the part of vehicle users.

The fuel is produced from renewable feedstocks, including used cooking oil (UCO), animal fats and residues from the food processing industry. Through a hydrotreatment process, these feedstocks are converted into a high-quality fuel with stable performance characteristics comparable to those of conventional diesel. Depending on the feedstocks used and the overall production pathway, HVO100 can leave a lower GHG footprint over its lifecycle.

HVO100 is currently available at selected ORLEN service stations in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. Its introduction into the Slovak market further expands the fuel’s availability across Central Europe.

ORLEN has been present in Slovakia since 2019 and currently operates in that country a network of 102 service stations. Alongside its core fuel business, the network continues to expand its non-fuel offering, including the Stop Cafe foodservice concept and convenience services, while investing in infrastructure upgrades such as photovoltaic installations, heat recovery systems and electric vehicle charging stations.

The ORLEN Group operates retail businesses in seven European countries and manages a network of more than 3.5 thousand service stations.

The SPL Expansion Project is being developed for up to three large-scale liquefaction trains with an expected total peak production capacity of up to approximately 20 million tonnes per annum (“mtpa”) of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”), inclusive of estimated debottlenecking opportunities and supporting infrastructure. The SPL Expansion Project is being executed in a phased approach. The EPC agreement with Bechtel for Phase 1 includes a single train, Train 7, a boil-off gas re-liquefaction unit, along with supporting infrastructure and tie-ins to the existing Sabine Pass LNG Terminal. Inclusive of estimated debottlenecking, Phase 1 has an expected total production capacity of over 6 mtpa of LNG. Phase 1 is commercially underpinned by long-term agreements with creditworthy counterparties, and a positive final investment decision (“FID”) on Phase 1 is subject to, among other things, receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and an acceptable financing arrangement.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) application for authorization to site, construct and operate the SPL Expansion Project, as well as the Department of Energy (DOE) application authorizing the export of LNG to non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) countries, remain pending. Cheniere Partners expects to reach FID on Phase 1 by early 2027.

“We are pleased to once again partner with Bechtel on the first phase of the SPL Expansion Project, and we look forward to building upon the unmatched track record for execution excellence the Cheniere and Bechtel relationship has established while successfully building our leading LNG platform. The EPC contract and the issuance of LNTP mark important steps toward FID, which we expect to occur by early next year. We are excited to have the project underway and are laser-focused on the remaining steps required to reach FID,” said Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The SPL Expansion Project commences as LNG market dynamics highlight the criticality of secure supply in the global energy system. We look forward to bringing this much-needed LNG capacity to the market and providing our customers with reliable and flexible LNG from Train 7.”
