The Louisiana LNG facility is expected to create roughly 400 permanent jobs and 6,500 construction jobs. Officials call it the largest foreign investment in the state's history.

Woodside has made a final investment decision to develop the three-train, 16.5 million tonne per annum (Mtpa) Louisiana LNG development. Woodside is targeting first LNG in 2029.

Woodside Energy is involved in intensive discussions with a couple of parties interested in participating in its newly approved $17.5 billion Louisiana LNG gas-export project, Chief Executive Meg O’Neill said.
