Woodside Energy: Fatality at Beaumont Clean Ammonia project

An incident occurred Thursday morning at the Beaumont Clean Ammonia site in Texas that tragically resulted in the death of an employee of one of OCI's construction contractors.

The Beaumont Clean Ammonia site is owned by Woodside Energy and construction is managed by OCI.

The incident occurred during work activity being carried out at the site. All other people at the site are safe and accounted for.

Woodside CEO Meg O'Neill said, "This is a very sad day, and I offer my deepest sympathy to our colleague's family, friends and workmates. The safety of our workforce is always our top priority, and we are providing full support to OCI and its contracting company.

"We are taking steps to understand the circumstances around this tragic event and are working closely with relevant authorities and regulators, OCI and the contractor company. A full investigation will be initiated and a stand down of all work is currently in place. Senior Woodside management is heading to the Beaumont Clean Ammonia site and we will be working to provide support to the employees in Beaumont, Texas.”
