Woodside starts Feed study on US hydrogen project
Australian firm targets FID on its most advanced project in second half of 2022
Australian oil and gas firm Woodside has started Feed work on its proposed H2OK hydrogen project in Oklahoma in the US, awarding a contract to engineering firm KBR to carry out a study. The firm is targeting FID for the second half of 2022, with first liquid hydrogen production in 2025—meaning the project is the most advanced of any in its portfolio. Woodside has three large hydrogen projects in the development phase, including the 3GW H2Perth project in Western Australia and the 1.7GW H2TAS project in Tasmania. H2OK is a liquid hydrogen production facility proposed to be built in the Westport Industrial Park in Ardmore, Oklahoma. Subject to approvals and customer demand, H2OK would involve
