03:59 AM EDT, 03/26/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Woodside Energy ( WDS ) said late Wednesday it assumed operational control of the Beaumont New Ammonia site in Texas, after completing performance testing.

The site, which has the capacity to produce and export up to 1.1 million tons of ammonia annually, was handed over by OCI Global, according to the company.

Woodside said ammonia production at the facility started in December, while production of lower-carbon ammonia is likely to start after 2026.
