LONDON, June 28 (Reuters) - Work to restart production at Australia's Woodside-operated WPL.AX Karratha Gas Plant, which hosts the North West Shelf liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project, is underway following a partial outage on June 24, a spokeswoman said.
The spokeswoman declined to comment on whether LNG exports have been affected. Industry sources, however, said the outage had affected LNG exports and was helping to support spot LNG prices in Asia LNG-AS , which have been on a downward trend for months.
"At 13:10 on 24 June 2017, Karratha Gas Plant experienced a partial production outage," a project spokeswoman said.
"The site was mustered in accordance with our standard procedures and all personnel have returned to work as normal," she added.
The cause of the incident is being investigated.
