A stench wafting about Sale and surrounds concerning residents during the past few days are a combination of some smelly events currently taking place.
Woodside Petroleum and BHP have entered into a merger commitment deed to combine their oil and gas portfolios through an all-stock merger, which will include its 50 per cent share in Bass Strait.
Output at the plant had already been reduced because of a separate technical issue.
The
Australian Financial Review reported the latest disruption triggered a spike in the Victorian wholesale gas price to $39.99 a gigajoule on Saturday afternoon, about six times the average of earlier this year.
It said according to energy market adviser Energy Edge, gas production at Longford fell by 200 terajoules a day as a result of reported issues with gas dehydrators from about 3pm on Friday until about 9pm on Saturday, meaning output fell about 300 terajoules short of planned capacity.
An Esso spokesperson told the
Gippsland Times the Longford Plants had resumed full gas production and the supply into the east coast market had “returned to full capacity”.
