LNG

Workers at Inpex's Ichthys LNG plant have voted in favour of a new enterprise agreement covering 2026 to 2030, which the company is now preparing to lodge with the Fair Work Commission. That closes a dispute which ran from 2 June to 17 June and only escalated to the shutdown of one of Darwin's two liquefaction trains in its closing days. Still, it cost Inpex some $200 million by the unions' estimate, with one LNG cargo and two condensate cargoes said to have missed their loadings.

Chevron Corp., the operator of the Gorgon LNG and Wheatstone LNG plants in Western Australia hit by industrial disruption, said it would apply to Australia’s labour regulator to help resolve its dispute with unions currently causing partial strikes.
