The Minister for Energy, Fran Logan, says Apache Energy will reveal in the coming days how soon it will be able to bring its gas operations back on line.
An explosion at Apache's Varanus Island plant more than a fortnight ago cut the state's gas supply by a third.
Mr Logan says he spoke to representatives from Apache this morning.
He says they told him they are almost ready to announce when they will be able to resume operations, and how much gas they may be able to feed into the system.
"They assure me that it would be around mid-August, but they'll do their very best to try and bring some gas on earlier if they can," he said.
"And hopefully that might be the announcement they make in a couple of days."
