drilling reports

Note that Mauritania drilling reports are the exception


DRILLING REPORTS
Woodside Petroleum Ltd. advises that it is changing its exploration and appraisal drilling reporting
from weekly to quarterly, except where material information is concerned.
The change is effective from today.
Instead of reporting progress on the drilling of exploration or appraisal wells each week,
information on those wells will be reported as follows:
• Before drilling: The names and brief details of all exploration and appraisal wells which are
planned to be drilled in the coming quarter will be provided with each quarterly report on
activities that Woodside lodges with the Australian Stock Exchange.
• During drilling: Any material information will continue to be released to the Australian Stock
Exchange immediately, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 3.1 and the Corporations Act.
• After drilling: The names and brief results of all exploration and appraisal wells that were
drilled in the previous quarter will be provided in each quarterly report on activities that
Woodside lodges with the Australian Stock Exchange.
• Exceptions: During the current drilling campaign offshore Mauritania, Woodside will
continue to report weekly the progress of all exploration and appraisal wells operated by any
of its subsidiaries.
