　　Australias Woodside expects slightly higher LNG production in 2017

　　Sydney (Platts)--20 Jan 2017

　　Australias Woodside Energy is forecasting slightly higher LNG production year on year in 2017, driven by the expected start-up of its Wheatstone project.

　　The company gave production guidance in its quarterly results on Thursday of 63 million-66 million barrels of oil equivalent for 2017, which compares against 63.7 million boe for 2016.

　　Production increase is forecast for the LNG business due to expected world-class reliability, the absence of major planned turnarounds and the addition of Wheatstone production, Woodside said.

　　First LNG from Train 1 at the 8.9 million mt/year Wheatstone project is on track for mid-2017 and from Train 2 six to eight months later, it said.

　　Platts Analytics expects Train 1 at Wheatstone to come online in September and for Train 2 to start in March 2018.
