Jan 25 (LNGJ) - The Gorgon LNG export plant on Barrow Island in Western Australia, operated by Chevron Corp., has entered the second week of a shutdown of one of its three liquefaction Trains. Chevron said Train 3 at the plant had been closed since January 16 because of technical issues. The other shareholders in the Gorgon plant are Royal Dutch Shell and ExxonMobil Corp. The US$54 billion Gorgon facility came on stream in March 2016 with nameplate capacity of 15.6 million tonnes per annum from its three Trains. The plant mainly supplies Japanese customers such as Osaka Gas, Tokyo Gas and Jera Co. Inc.
