(a) Sangomar - Acquisition from FAR Senegal RSSD SA On 7 July 2021, Woodside completed the acquisition of FAR Senegal RSSD SA’s interest in the RSSD Joint Venture (13.67% interest in the Sangomar exploitation area and 15% interest in the remaining RSSD evaluation area), for an aggregate purchase price of $212 million. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. Additional payments of up to $55 million are contingent on future commodity prices and timing of first oil. The contingent payments terminate on the earliest of 31 December 2027, three years from first oil being sold, and a total contingent payment of $55 million being reached. The contingent payments are accounted for as contingent liabilities in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. As at 31 December 2021, Woodside held an 82% interest in the Sangomar exploitation area (2020: 68.33%) and a 90% interest in the remaining RSSD evaluation area (2020: 75%).

Key estimates and judgements Nature of acquisition Judgement was required to determine if the transaction was the acquisition of an asset or a business combination. The Sangomar project was in the early phase of development and a substantive process that had the ability to convert inputs to outputs was not present and therefore the acquisition in 2021 was treated as asset acquisitions.

The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. Additional payments of up to $100 million are contingent on future commodity prices and the occurrence of first oil prior to 2025 . The contingent payments are accounted for as contingent liabilities in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies.
