WOR.AU in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelook stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Worley provides engineering, project delivery and asset management services to the energy, chemicals and resources industries. Its work spans engineering, procurement, construction, planning, digital solutions, decommissioning and specialist technology consulting. Clients sit across chemicals and fuels, conventional energy, low-carbon energy, and resources, including data-centre, hydrogen, nuclear and renewable-power projects. It is headquartered in Sydney and was formerly named WorleyParsons.
Where it sits in the stack
Worley holds no seat in Rubin, our AI infrastructure index. It sits in the wider Energy sector of the diary's universe, where its low-carbon work, including data-centre power connections, grid and nuclear infrastructure, makes it a service provider to the electricity side of the AI build-out rather than a stack constituent.
Who it is priced against
Closelook's peer group for Worley is not populated in the diary. The comparison the market most often draws is with Fluor, another large engineering and project-management contractor serving energy and resources clients.
Why Closelook tracks it
Worley carries no index seat and no Closelook score, and the diary records no editions or quotes on it. Coverage currently rests on its chart readings alone, tracked as a possible entry point into the energy side of the build-out.
What the diary watches
The diary watches whether Worley's low-carbon energy work, particularly data-centre power connections and grid projects, grows as a share of its project book, which would tie it more closely to AI-driven electricity demand.
