Venture Global and Thailand’s state-controlled energy giant PTT PCL are in advanced talks for binding LNG offtake, supposedly from the Plaquemines or CP2 export facilities in Louisiana. If finalized, the deal would help diversify Thailand’s LNG supply away from Middle Eastern sources.
The Ksi Lisims LNG project in British Columbia is in advanced discussions with additional offtakers as developers target a final investment decision (FID) on the 12 mtpa floating liquefaction facility on Nisga’a Nation land by the end of this year.
Japanese trading company Mitsui & Co is in advanced negotiations to buy a minority stake in Qatar’s North Field South LNG expansion, a 16 mtpa liquefaction project being developed at an estimated cost of $17.5 billion. The deal would give Mitsui access to one of the world’s lowest-cost LNG developments.
