Executive Summary
Standard Lithium's Smackover Lithium partnership with Equinor awarded an EPCM contract to Wood Group for the upstream well field of the South West Arkansas Project, ahead of a Final Investment Decision expected in 2026. The well field represents less than one-third of the project's estimated capex, and a separate EPCC contract for the central processing facility is expected in Q2. The project targets 22,500 tonnes per annum of battery-quality lithium carbonate, but no dollar values for the contract or capital expenditure were disclosed, and the FID is not yet secured.
