Woodside Announces Temporary Shutdown at Karratha Gas Plant
January 3, 2008
Woodside Petroleum has announced that an electrical fault at the North West Shelf Venture’s Karratha gas plant resulted in a production shutdown.
Woodside, as operator, is investigating the cause of the incident. At this stage, Woodside expects to resume domestic gas production on late January 3, 2008.
Liquefied natural gas production will recommence following the re-start of domestic gas production. Woodside does not believe that the production disruption will materially affect its production forecast for the year.
