       SINGAPORE, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Train 2 at Ichthys LNG is
scheduled to be restarted in October, operator Inpex Corp
 1605.T  said in an emailed statement on Tuesday.
    The production train at the plant in Darwin, Australia, was
halted on Aug. 20 and is the plant's second train outage in the
past month. 
    "Train 2 has been temporarily halted for inspection and
repair after an issue was discovered through operational
monitoring activities," the Inpex statement said.
    "The issue is similar to the one that occurred in another
part of the same train and temporarily halted the train last
month."
    Ichthys LNG is a joint venture between Inpex, TotalEnergies
 TTEF.PA  and the Australian subsidiaries of CPC Corporation
Taiwan, Osaka Gas  9532.T , Kansai Electric Power  9503.T , JERA
and Toho Gas  9533.T .
    The plant's processing trains can produce 8.9 million metric
tons of LNG per year.
