ARLINGTON, Va., May 21, 2018 /CNW/ -- Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC, a subsidiary of Venture Global LNG, Inc., and BP (BP LN) have entered into a 20-year Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) for the supply of two million tonnes per annum (MTPA) from the Venture Global Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility, currently under development in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, USA.
Under this agreement, BP will purchase LNG on a free on board basis (FOB) for a 20-year term starting from the commercial operation date of the Venture Global Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility, currently expected in 2022.
Mike Sabel and Bob Pender, co-CEOs of Venture Global LNG, jointly announced "We are delighted that BP, one of the world's leading international oil and gas companies, has committed to purchase 2 MTPA from our Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility, bringing our total contracted quantity under binding 20-year SPAs to 6 MTPA. BP joins Venture Global's other world-class LNG partners, including Shell, Edison S.p.A. and Galp.
