#### Exhibit 2.01

#### Exhibit 2.01 - Resource Extraction Payment Report

#### Reporting Entity
Woodside Energy Group Ltd

#### Reporting Fiscal Year
From 01/01/2024 to 31/12/2024

#### Reporting currency
All payments are reported in US dollars. Payments made in currencies other than US dollars are translated at the exchange rate existing at the time the payment is made.

#### Activities
This Report includes cash and in-kind payments made to Foreign Governments, the U.S. Federal Government or U.S. State Governments with respect to the commercial development of oil and natural gas involving the exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction for any such activity. All such activities with the extraction method of "well", are included in this Report.

#### Foreign Government
Foreign Government is defined as the national government of a foreign country, as well as any department, agency, or instrumentality of the national government, or a company at least majority owned by the national government of a foreign country. As used in this Item 2.01, foreign government also includes a foreign subnational government, such as the government of a state, province, department, county, district, municipality, or territory under a foreign national government.

#### Project
Payments are reported at project level except for payments that are not attributable to a specific project, which are reported at the entity level. Project is defined as operational activities which are governed by a single contract, licence, lease, concession or similar legal agreement, and form the basis for payment liabilities with a government. If these agreements are substantially interconnected, then they may be treated as a single project.

Substantially interconnected means forming a set of operationally and geographically integrated contracts, licences, leases or concessions or related agreements with substantially similar terms that are signed with a government, giving rise to payment liabilities.

#### Materiality
In accordance with the Resource Extraction Payment Rules, payments below $100,000 to a government are excluded from this Report.
