Show Notes
Four major gas projects in Western Australia, including Chevrons Gorgon and Wheatstone sites, Woodsides Karratha Gas Plant, and Santos Varanus Island facility, are offline following ex-Tropical Cyclone Narelle. The storm caused gale-force winds, leading to safety shutdowns. While this is a significant blow, analysts assure theres no immediate cause for concern, as reserves in pipelines and storage should cover power needs. The government is prioritizing homes over industry, and officials note these plants are built to withstand cyclones. Offshore workers were safely evacuated, and power plants in the south are monitoring closely. This disruption comes amid global liquefied natural gas shortages, highlighting the importance of reliable local supply.
