Australia’s North West Shelf LNG facility hit by Karratha plant outage

LONDON, June 28 (Reuters) – Work to restart production at Australia’s Woodside-operated Karratha Gas Plant, which hosts the North West Shelf liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project, is underway following a partial outage on June 24, a spokeswoman said. The spokeswoman declined to comment on whether LNG exports have been affected. Industry sources, however, said the outage had affected LNG exports and was helping to support spot LNG prices in Asia LNG-AS, which have been on a downward trend for months.
