Staff to strike at Chevron gas facilities in Australia

Workers at two of Chevron’s major natural gas plants in Australia are set to go on strike next week, the US energy giant said Tuesday, threatening up to five percent of global LNG supplies.

Chevron has been told the strikes will start September 7 at its Gorgon and Wheatstone facilities in Western Australia, an announcement that has spooked markets already upended by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
