European gas spikes again as Chevron receives strike notice for WA LNG workers

European natural gas prices surged overnight after Chevron said it has been alerted that strikes at its LNG export plants in WA will begin from September 7.

Unions gave notice for industrial action at the Gorgon and Wheatstone export plants, the company said late Monday. Chevron will “continue to work through the bargaining process as we seek outcomes that are in the interests of both employees and the company”, it said.
