Chevron works to resume full production at Gorgon LNG after fault
May 3, 2024 4:10 AM

SINGAPORE, May 3 (Reuters) - Chevron Australia is

working to resume full production at its Gorgon gas facility

after a mechanical fault affected one liquefied natural gas

(LNG) production train, a company spokesperson said on Friday.

The turbine fault had occurred on April 30, the spokesperson

said.

"Repair activities have commenced and are expected to take a

number of weeks," the spokesperson added without providing a

more specific timeframe.

Domestic gas and the other two LNG trains at Gorgon are

unaffected and producing at full capacity.

Gorgon exports LNG to customers across Asia and produces

domestic gas for the Western Australian market. It has three LNG

trains, or production units, with total capacity of 15.6 million

metric tons per year.

It also has a domestic gas plant with the capacity to supply

300 terajoules of gas per day to Western Australia.

On Oct. 31 the Gorgon plant experienced an "electrical

incident" that affected one LNG production train, where it was

producing at 80% capacity.

Full production resumed nearly a month later and the reduced

output at the affected train did not affect domestic gas and the

other two LNG production units.
