Wholesale gas prices in Europe have fallen after a planned strike at Australia's largest liquefied natural gas plant looked to have been averted.
The walkout at Woodside Energy's North West Shelf plant had threatened to disrupt global LNG supplies, driving up gas prices sharply.
But on Thursday the firm reached an agreement in principle with unions, which it is hoped will halt the strike.
Benchmark EU and UK gas prices are down almost 33% since their peak on Tuesday.
