There is no minimum contract value, with all work to be provided on an agreed schedule of rates. The agreement is for three years with two one-year options to extend.

Matrix Chief Executive Officer Aaron Begley said the agreement aligned with Matrix’s focus on shifting the Company’s revenue streams from greenfields CAPEX to brownfields OPEX, targeting locally based opportunities to create innovative advanced material solutions.

“We recently formed a technology group to increase penetration of Matrix’s advanced materials technologies into operations and brownfields projects and I am excited we have secured this significant strategic agreement as one of only three key technology providers to Woodside Energy Technologies,” Mr Begley said.

“Matrix is already executing several projects for Woodside and this agreement further strengthens our relationship with an important customer.

“The combination of our expertise in materials science and advanced manufacturing enables Matrix to deliver solutions that traditional materials cannot, and this agreement provides us with an excellent opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities in the local market.”

This announcement was authorised for release by the Managing Director and CEO of Matrix.
