Woodside gives inspection responsibility to LR Energy

Lloyd’s Register Energy has been chosen by LNG player Woodside as one of its global inspection providers.

The new contract will help to ensure the components and equipment Woodside procures globally meet quality expectations, LR said in a statement.

Woodside is the largest independent oil and gas company in Australia. Under the three-year contract, Lloyd’s Register Energy will provide surveillance inspection, expediting and auditing services. The contract also includes two one-year extension options.

The successful nomination for delivering worldwide inspection services comes after a similar nomination of global inspection support for Japanese energy company INPEX for its high-profile Ichthys LNG project in western Australia, according to the statement.

This latest inspection nomination continues a long-standing relationship between Lloyd’s Register Energy and Woodside. For more than 25 years, Lloyd’s Register Energy has been providing ongoing compliance and risk consulting services to Woodside.
