Feb 25 (LNGJ) - Russian natural gas company Novatek signed a long-term LNG Sales and Purchase Agreement with the Chinese Shenergy Group from volumes produced by the Arctic LNG II on the Gydan Pensinsula, currently under construction. The accord is for 3 million tonnes per annum of LNG over 15 years and delivered to terminals in China on a delivered ex-ship (DES) basis whereby the seller pays for the shipping.
“Our LNG commercial strategy is to diversify our client base and target end consumers in the fast-growing Asian-Pacific region, and the LNG volumes produced from our Arctic LNG II project are core to our long-term objective of delivering affordable, secure and sustainable natural gas for many decades,” said Novatek Chairman Leonid Mikhelson.
Centrica plc, the UK utility and energy company with a growing LNG market presence, reported a resilient financial performance in the second half of 2020 as the trading and optimisation performance continued to be strong, especially in LNG.
