Two water planning experts have urged industrial competitors to work together on future water supply as the state grapples with capacity constraints and environmental concerns.
Woodside Energy and Chevron have both confirmed production impacts from Tropical Cyclone Narelle, with LNG and domestic gas supply interrupted.
Chevron is working to restore production at both its Gorgon and Wheatstone gas facilities, according to a spokesperson, while Woodside said its North West Shelf operation had been disrupted by the region’s severe weather.
The Woodside-operated Macedon and Pluto gas plants remain up and running.
But combined, the Gorgon, Wheatstone and North West Shelf operations account for 44 per cent of the state’s domestic gas supply.
