Nov 4 (LNGJ) - Santos, the Australian LNG export plant operator and shareholder and the largest domestic natural gas supplier in the state of Western Australia, has signed a new gas sales contract. Adelaide-based Santos said the agreement was signed with energy provider Kleenheat, part of the Wesfarmers Chemical, Energy and Fertilisers group. Under the contract, Santos will supply the gas from its processing plant on Varanus Island, offshore the LNG export terminal at Karratha. The agreement will run for three years from 2021.
Santos Chief Executive Kevin Gallagher said the deal further strengthened the company’s position as the leading supplier of clean, affordable and reliable energy in Western Australia. “In these challenging economic times, this agreement with one of Western Australia’s largest users of natural gas is good for Kleenheat, good for Santos and good for WA, supporting local jobs and business opportunities,” stated Gallagher.
