SINGAPORE, May 22 (Reuters) - Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (KUFPEC) has offered a liquefied natural gas $(LNG)$ cargo for loading from Australia in mid-July, said two industry sources on Thursday.

The cargo is offered from the Wheatstone plant in Australia for loading on July 14-17, in a tender that closes on May 22.

KUFPEC, the foreign energy exploration arm of Kuwait, is a stakeholder in the Chevron-operated CVX.N Wheatstone LNG project.
