Woodside Energy Honored as International Local Content Champion at African Energy Week (AEW) 2025

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, October 6, 2025/ — Woodside Energy has been recognized as International Local Content Champion of the Year by African Energy Week 2025: Invest in African Energies, honoring its sustained commitment to building local capacity, fostering skills transfer and empowering communities across Africa. The award highlights the company’s strategic efforts to ensure that local people and enterprises play a central role in delivering major energy projects.

A focal point of Woodside Energy’s approach is the Sangomar offshore development in Senegal, where the company has partnered closely with state-owned energy company Petrosen to integrate local suppliers, strengthen industrial capacity and create lasting economic benefits for surrounding communities. According to Woodside, the subsea installation of the project’s FPSO vessel was supported from Dakar and logistical supply services were provided by local businesses.
