Wheatstone LNG plant starts production

The Wheatstone LNG project in WA, in which Woodside Petroleum owns a 13 per cent stake, has started production.

Woodside Petroleum says the Wheatstone project in WA has started producing liquefied natural gas, with the first cargo to be shipped in the coming weeks.

Woodside holds a 13 per cent stake in the Chevron-operated project, which has been plagued by cost blowouts and construction delays.

Production is expected to start from the second train in six to eight months, Woodside said, taking full capacity to capacity of 8.9 million tonnes per annum.
