Cyclones shut in Australian oil, ore shipments

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Administrator

Cyclones off the coast of Western Australia forced the shutdown on Thursday of almost half the country's oil production as well as a major iron ore export terminal, with more closures seen as two storms approach oil fields.

At least 180,600 barrels per day (bpd) of offshore oil production was shut in. Australia produced about 418,000 barrels of oil per day in 2006, according to government figures.
