How LNG Strikes in Australia Will Impact Natural Gas Supply

Workers at Chevron Corp.-operated liquefied natural gas facilities in Australia began industrial action after talks failed to resolve a long-running dispute on pay and conditions.
Strikes commenced from 1 p.m. Perth time across the Gorgon and Wheatstone plants and the Wheatstone offshore platform in Western Australia, which together supplied about 7% of the world’s LNG last year. Workers plan to engage in about 20 types of action, including stoppages and bans on certain tasks, the Offshore Alliance, a grouping of major unions, said in a statement.
