PERTH – US oil and gas major Chevron will need at least two more days to resume production from its Wheatstone gas plant, near Onslow in Western Australia, but the state government has assured that supply in the region will not be affected.Advertisement
The incident follows reduced supply from the Santos-operated John Brookes facility at Varanus Island and Devil Creek facility after recent interruptions.The state government said in a statement that while the number of commercial production facilities being offline or at reduced output is unprecedented, there was no risk to household gas or electricity supply.
“The fact that the state can continue to have a stable gas supply despite three facilities either being offline or at reduced output highlights the strength of our energy system,” Energy Minister“The domestic gas reservation policy, which guarantees 15% of supply is retained for local use, continues to be the backbone of our energy security here in Western Australia.
