SINGAPORE, May 31 (Reuters) - Chevron ( CVX ) has

resumed full liquefied natural gas (LNG) production at its

Gorgon Gas facility in Australia, after a mechanical fault

caused one production train to go offline in late April.

"Chevron Australia has resumed full LNG production from the

Gorgon Gas Facility with the safe re-start of a production train

on Wednesday, May 29, following an outage," a company

spokesperson said on Friday.

The production train went offline on April 30 due to a

turbine fault.

Gorgon exports LNG to customers across Asia and has a

domestic gas plant with the capacity to supply 300 terajoules of

gas per day to Western Australia.

It has three LNG trains, or production units, with total

capacity of 15.6 million metric tons per year.

Chevron ( CVX ) owns 47% stake in and operates the Gorgon project.

It is co-owned by Exxon Mobil, Shell and Japanese utilities

Osaka Gas, Tokyo Gas and JERA.
