Cyclone Narelle disrupts Australian LNG production and cuts power
Change
Cyclone Narelle interrupted LNG production at Karratha, Gorgon and Wheatstone facilities and left Exmouth without power.
Why it matters
Restart of affected LNG trains is contingent on safety inspections and workforce remobilisation, delaying resumption of export shipments and tightening already strained global gas supplies. Local power restoration will be subject to safety conditions, slowing recovery for Exmouth and nearby service hubs.
Implications
- • LNG plant operators must complete safety inspections and remobilisation before restarting affected trains.
- • LNG cargo buyers must reconfirm delivery windows and arrange alternative supplies for delayed shipments.
