Gorgon Production Still Suspended

Production remains suspended at Chevron Corp's $54 billion LNG Gorgon export facility in Australia following a gas leak nearly two weeks ago, a company spokesman said.

After the shutdown on July 1, Chevron initially said production would recommence in the "coming week."

"Production at the Gorgon LNG plant site has been temporarily suspended while the company undertakes some minor repair and maintenance work," said spokesman Bradley Haynes.

Gorgon had stored LNG and was still able to export its second ever cargo on July 3 on board the Marib Spirit tanker, but there have been no exports since.
