Woodside Energy’s Louisiana LNG President Abruptly Departs

Meg O’Neill, the president of Woodside Energy Group Ltd.'s U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) operations, has departed from her role, effective Monday, March 18, 2024. O'Neill's departure comes just over a year after she was appointed to lead the company's significant $17.5 billion LNG project in Louisiana. Woodside Energy confirmed the executive's exit in a company memo that was reviewed by Bloomberg. The company has not yet announced a replacement for O'Neill, nor has it provided specific reasons for her abrupt departure. O'Neill's tenure was marked by the ongoing development and regulatory processes for the Louisiana LNG facility, which is a key component of Woodside's global energy strategy. The project aims to significantly increase the company's export capacity for natural gas.
