Cheniere and Pertamina sign additional LNG agreement
Cheniere Energy subsidiary, Corpus Christi Liquefaction, has entered into an LNG sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with PT Pertamina, under which Pertamina has agreed to purchase approximately 0.76 million tpa of LNG upon the commencement of operations of Train 2 of the LNG export facility currently being developed in Texas.
The SPA is in addition to the previously announced SPA under which Pertamina will purchase approximately 0.76 million tpa of LNG, bringing the total quantity of LNG sold to Pertamina under the two agreements to approximately 1.52 million tpa. The Corpus Christi liquefaction project is being designed and permitted for up to three trains, with aggregate design production capacity of 13.5 million tpa of LNG.
Under the SPA, Pertamina will purchase LNG on a free on board (FOB) basis for a purchase price indexed to the monthly Henry Hub price plus a fixed component. LNG will be loaded onto Pertamina's vessels. The SPA has a term of twenty years commencing upon the date of first commercial delivery of the second train of the Corpus Christi liquefaction project, with an extension option of up to ten years. Deliveries from Train 2 are expected to occur in 2019.
Comments
Charif Souki, Chairman and CEO, commented: "This SPA represents additional LNG volumes contracted with Pertamina at our Corpus Christi Liquefaction Project. We look forward to supplying LNG to Indonesia as the country transitions to an LNG importer to meet their growing energy needs.
"To date we have entered into SPAs aggregating approximately 7 million tpa of LNG volumes, completing our long-term contracting for the first two trains of the Corpus Christi Liquefaction Project. We expect to complete all remaining necessary steps to reach a final investment decision and begin construction by early 2015."
