Chevron reports LNG outage at Australian plant as strike action escalates

A Chevron Corp. liquefied natural gas plant in Australia reported a production outage Thursday as workers escalated a strike action against facilities that provide more than 5% of global LNG supplies. The U.S. energy giant said in a statement that it was working to resume full production at its Wheatstone facility “following a fault which has impacted about 25% of LNG production.” Chevron did not link the disruption to an escalation Thursday in the strikes at its Wheatstone and Gorgon LNG plants.
