Venture Global LNG has signed three long-term LNG supply contracts with Chinese firms China Petroleum & Chemical (Sinopec) and Sinopec’s trading arm Unipec.
The deals come amid shortages of domestic power and mounting gas prices in the world’s second-biggest economy.
Under the two contracts with Sinopec, Venture Global LNG will supply four million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG, reported Reuters citing a letter filed by Venture Global LNG with the US Department of Energy (DOE).
The LNG will be supplied from the planned LNG export facility in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, in the US.
Upon completion, the Plaquemines facility will have an export capacity of up to 20 million metric tonnes per year. The project also involves the development of the Gator Express pipeline.
