Worley

Worley’s 49,400-strong team helps customers across the energy, chemicals and resources sectors solve our planet’s toughest challenges. The energy transition requires mined materials to build a more sustainable world. And copper is a trending commodity. To meet forecast demand, the industry must consider a move to mass underground mining or expanding current underground activities. Our copper center of excellence is in Chile and supported by our global mining network. Together, we have developed more than 23,000 meters of main, vent, refrigeration and decline shafts. We partner with our customers across the mining value chain. We help them navigate the uncertain world of decarbonization, electrification and alternative commercial models, without impacting productivity or economic performance. Together, we can achieve speed to market while minimizing environmental, social and governance risks. This is a critical combination that’ll help address an anticipated new energy materials supply gap in a rapidly changing industry.
