Woodside Energy has completed the strategic review of its Beaumont New Ammonia facility and will initiate a formal process to reduce its investment, the company said during its Q3 2026 earnings report published October 21. The company announced plans for the review during its H1 2026 earnings presentation in August.
The site (see map below) was available and operating at nameplate capacity 69% of the time during Q3 due to issues with third-party feedstock availability and a 30-day shutdown due to what it described as a “Tier 1 process safety event” that involved no injuries or equipment damage. The site operated normally 92.2% of the time during Q2, following Woodside’s assumption of operational control from OCI Global at the end of Q1, the company said during its quarterly earnings call in July.
