Since then, Woodside has reached a compromise deal with workers, while Chevron and its workers remain apart on several key claims. The impact on LNG shipments is not likely to be immediate, and gas consumption is currently muted in both Europe and Asia. Tokyo Gas Co, which also has a stake in the plant, said it is checking on impact to its LNG procurement. The region relies heavily on stable LNG shipments after losing most of its pipeline-supplied gas from Russia in 2022.
