Woodside Petroleum’s Limited
(ASX:WPL) second-quarter production has dipped as planned maintenance works and an unscheduled outage at its Pluto LNG plant took their toll on the results.
In the three months to June 30, Woodside produced 20 million barrels of oil equivalent, a 0.6 per cent decrease on the same period a year ago.
The group says its production result was impacted by planned North West Shelf and Pluto maintenance as well as an unplanned Pluto LNG outage.
Woodside reconfirmed its revised full-year production guidance.
Earlier this month, Woodside lowered its full-year production target range to between 85 and 89 million barrels of oil equivalent, from the previous range of 88 to 94 million barrels of oil equivalent.
Woodside generated a net profit of $2.9 billion for its 2012 financial year.
