The state-owned utility needs to replace the generation capacity it will lose by closing down all its coal-fired power stations over the next four years.
I worked in oil & gas in commercial and engineering roles for 20 years. Since 2016, I have written for The West Australian, WAtoday, The Guardian and Boiling Cold, winning five WA Media Awards.
Two Woodside offshore workers were injured when a 500kg load fell after a lifting appliance with unapproved modifications failed but Woodside reported only one injury to the safety regulator.
Terrifying video shows an offshore lift that went badly wrong off the WA coast in early July endangering workers hanging off a platform and those on the vessel.
Employees across Woodside lost their jobs today, with many more expected to follow, as chief executive Meg O'Neill chases a 30 per cent cut in operating costs.
