Strikes at two major LNG facilities in Australia threaten supply as wage negotiations with contractor UGL collapse.
Maintenance workers at two offshore LNG facilities in Australia began striking after failing to secure a wage agreement with engineering firm UGL. The industrial action impacts Woodside’s North West Shelf LNG facility and the adjacent Pluto LNG project, both critical to regional energy exports.
The Offshore Alliance, representing the workers, stated the strikes follow UGL’s refusal to meet industrial standards. No resolution timeline was provided, raising concerns over prolonged disruptions to LNG production and shipments.
Markets may monitor the situation for potential supply chain impacts, though no immediate production halts have been announced.
