Qatargas同Centrica簽訂新協議

Centrica said September 5 it had entered into a new five-year supply agreement with Qatargas for the purchase of up to 2mn metric tons/yr of LNG. Qatargas’s first contract with Centrica ran for three years from June 2011 until mid-2014. A second currently extends the arrangement for four and a half years until December 2018. This third contract will run expiry of the latter, so from January 2019 until December 2023.The UK is increasingly becoming an attractive destination for LNG, due to the decline in North Sea production and recent growth in global LNG supply, said Centrica CEO Iain Conn, noting that his company’s “trading capabilities mean we are ideally-placed to work with LNG producers across the world.”The new contract remains a flexible supply, where “up to” means that Qatargas retains the option of delivering some or most of all the markets.
