Australian LNG Needs Certainty on Labor Costs: Shell

摘要

For investors to develop the next wave of LNG projects in Australia, the industry will need a much higher degree of certainty on labor costs, Royal Dutch Shell's country head warned Monday. "It is imperative that wages and conditions be agreed at the start of a project, with wage growth pre - agreed across the five, six or seven years it takes to complete construction," Andrew Smith, chairman of Shell in Australia, told delegates at the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association (APPEA) conference in Brisbane. Shell is involved in several LNG projects in the country.
