June 11 (Reuters) - Chevron ( CVX ) has suspended

production at its Wheatstone gas facility in Australia to

complete repairs to the platform's fuel gas system, a company

spokesperson said on Tuesday.

Chevron ( CVX ) began suspending operations at 11 p.m. (1500 GMT) on

Monday.

"As the offshore platform provides gas to Wheatstone's

onshore facilities near Onslow, Western Australia, LNG and

domestic gas production has been suspended," the spokesperson

said.

Production is said to resume following completion of the

repair at the facility which has an export capacity of 8.9

million tons a year.

Wheatstone's top customers in 2024, based on LSEG's supply

data available so far this year, were Japan and South Korea,

followed by China and Taiwan.
