-Chevron Corp’s Wheatstone home gasoline plant has re-commenced provide to the Western Australia market, a spokesperson for the oil and gasoline explorer’s Australian unit mentioned on Wednesday.
Fuel provide to Western Australia had been lower as a consequence of an tools failure that knocked out Chevron’s 215 terajoules-a-day Wheatstone plant on Jan. 5.
“Home gasoline manufacturing from the plant is predicted to steadily enhance earlier than reaching full manufacturing charges in coming days,” the spokesperson added.
Earlier this week, aluminium producer Alcoa Corp had flagged 30% manufacturing cuts at its partially owned Kwinana alumina refinery in Western Australia, as a consequence of a scarcity of gasoline provide.
The Wheatstone outage got here on prime of a lack of provide from Santos Ltd’s Varanus Island operation, which has been shut since late November as a consequence of a leak on a gasoline pipeline from an offshore platform.
