Woodside's Pluto LNG restart delayed

Source: RBC

Woodside's restart from its planned Pluto LNG turnaround will be delayed until the end of June after initial restart efforts were unsuccessful. Vibration in the refrigerant compressor has delayed restart.

In the interim, Woodside will be purchasing cargoes from the market to fulfill its contractual obligations. However Woodside are making a healthy margin of  c.USD5/mmbtu with the current lull in Asian spot LNG prices due to subdued summer demand.

Spot LNG prices are c.USD5/mmbtu and Woodside's contractual supplies have achieved c.USD10/mmbtu.
