JAKARTA, Feb 21 (Reuters) - The third train of BP's Tangguh liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in West Papua, Indonesia has resumed operations after an outage for about a week, the country's upstream oil and gas regulator SKK Migas said on Wednesday.

BP did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the restart.
The first cargo of LNG from the third train was shipped in October to a power plant operated by state utility firm Perusahaan Listrik Negara.
Train 3 would increase the Tangguh LNG facility's capacity by 3.8 million metric tons per year to 11.4 million tons.
