Australia's Woodside Energy shut down the Pluto LNG processing plant on Monday, due to a fault in the facility's control system, a company spokesperson confirmed yesterday.
In an earlier statement on the same day, Woodside said that operations at the Karratha Gas Plant, which is connected to Pluto LNG by a pipeline, were normal and that the company's 2024 production guidance was unchanged.
Woodside also said that the current unplanned ‘event’ was under investigation and to maintain safety at the site, the train’s manual de-pressurisation and offshore facilities was completed.
The company did not give any other details.
