Woodside defers maintenance at Australian North West Shelf LNG plant
3/27/2020
Woodside Petroleum said on Friday it would defer major maintenance at the North West Shelf liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in Western Australia as it was slashing spending for 2020 in half to cope with the coronavirus and sliding oil prices.
A major turnaround on Train 3 at the LNG plant at Karratha has been deferred to September 2020 from late April, while a major turnaround for LNG Train 4 has been deferred by a year to August 2021, Woodside said.
Woodside is also reducing the scope of life extension activities at the plant in 2020 as it looks to reduce the number of non-essential workers at the site. (Reporting by Sonali Paul; Editing by Tom Hogue)
