A Santos statement said total Moomba gas production capacity has now achieved levels of approximately 630 terajoules per day - which equates with pre-incident capability - as a result of the resumption of processing through the Liquids Recovery Plant B train in Dew Point Control Mode.
It said it was an important milestone for the Moomba recovery project and will enable the plant to meet the coming winter peak gas demand.
Further repair work remains on schedule to fully restore natural gas liquids production with the Liquids Recovery Plant A train start-up scheduled for the first half of May and Liquids Recovery Plant B train start-up scheduled for the second half of July.
