Strikes at Australian natural gas facilities could lead to a global shortage of gas supply and higher European gas prices, as the market is currently very tight with little flexibility, according to energy analysts. The strikes are scheduled to begin on Thursday unless an agreement is reached between Chevron and the unions representing workers at the Gorgon and Wheatstone projects. However, analysts believe that prices are unlikely to reach the record peaks seen in September 2021. The gas market also remains sensitive to other factors, such as disruptions caused by winter storms or a cut in Russian gas supply. There is also uncertainty surrounding the future of gas transit through Ukraine, which could further impact European gas prices.
