Shareholders will receive $2.07 billion through a fully franked dividend of $1.09 per share made up of 76 cents of an allocation of 80 percent of net income after tax and 33 cents of BHP cash payments after from the sale of its assets. It was completed.
O’Neill said Woodside was ramping up work on its $12 billion Scarborough to Pluto project with all major equipment procured, fabrication of floating production unit uppers and onshore construction work at March.
