The Point looks at Woodside's Browse gas project, which has struggled to line up committed buyers, and the company's newer sales angle around AI data centres. With big tech firms hunting for firm power, Woodside is trying to frame its undeveloped gas as a solution to data centre load growth. The article is worth reading for anyone tracking gas project economics or the AI energy boom. A new sales narrative does not fix Browse's core problems: high cost, long timelines, and no foundation customer yet. It also raises a wider question about whether AI demand is being used to justify new fossil supply that might not otherwise get built.
