LNG: Strikes at Chevron’s Australian LNG Plants, No Output Impact Expected

LNG

Members of Australian LNG workers’ union the Offshore Alliance that are employed by companies owned by engineering firm Altrad are undertaking protected industrial action at Chevron Australia’s two LNG facilities, Argus said.

  • However, the mitigation in place means that there are no anticipated impacts to LNG and domestic gas production, Chevron said Oct. 10.
  • About 140 gas maintenance workers began rolling stoppages and work bans today due to dissatisfaction with negotiations for a new enterprise bargaining agreement.
  • Staff strikes include technicians, scaffolders, riggers, painters and plasterers working for Altrad at Chevron's 8.9m mtpa Wheatstone LNG and 15.6m mtpa Gorgon LNG facilities in Western Australia
