Varanus Island gas leak will not impact Western Australia's energy supply, says minister

Output at the Varanus Island gas terminal has taken a hit following a leak.abc.net.au/news/minister-plays-down-fears-over-varanus-island-gas-leak/101713276Energy minister Bill Johnston says a gas leak at a pipeline off the coast of WA’s Pilbara region, which has reduced output at the Varanus Island processing facility, will not impact the state’s gas supply.

Gas and oil from the platform feed into the nearby Santos-operated Varanus Island processing facility, which supplies major mining and industrial customers in WA. Mr Johnston said there was "no expectation at this time" that the shutdown of the facility would impact the supply chain."There's so many other supply points for natural gas, and in addition to that we also have a number of storage facilities that can supply gas," he said.

Will it affect it though?

And don't forget that there is no environmental damage too, Australian gas is as clean as Australian coal... sorry as clean as air. But of course the energy supply is a major concern
