Santos has announced the signing of a mid-term LNG supply contract with QatarEnergy Trading LLC (QET).
The contract is to supply approximately 0.5 million tpy of LNG over a period of two years from 2026 with LNG being supplied from Santos’ portfolio of world-class LNG assets on a delivered ex-ship basis.
Santos Managing Director and CEO, Kevin Gallagher, said the contract with QET is an extension of our existing strong business relationship and a great opportunity for both Santos and QET to leverage their expertise in Asian LNG markets.
Santos’ portfolio of high-quality, tier-one customers now comprises, Hokkaido Gas Co., Ltd, Shizuoka Gas Co. Ltd, TotalEnergies Gas & Power Asia Ltd, Glencore Singapore Pte Ltd, Mitsubishi Corp., PETRONAS, KOGAS, Osaka Gas, JERA, Sinopec (Unipec Asia Co Ltd), CPC Corp., and now QET. The portfolio is around 90% contracted and around 85% oil linked on average between 2025 – 2029. Average contract pricing across the whole portfolio is estimated at around 14.7% slope to Brent over 2025 – 2027.
With this agreement Santos continues to build a world class portfolio LNG business. Santos can deliver incremental margin over and above the contracted pricing by leveraging the flexibility of its equity lifted volumes combined with its portfolio of destination supply contracts, utilising charter LNG vessels.
“This contract reinforces our ability to leverage our flexible LNG portfolio to achieve great outcomes for Santos and our customers. It further complements recent mid and long-term LNG sales and purchase agreements, underscoring Santos’ robust LNG portfolio and strong customer relationships in the region,” said Gallagher.
“We continue to see very strong demand in Asia for high heating value LNG from projects such as Barossa and PNG LNG, as well as for reliable regional supply. Santos remains committed to supporting the energy security and emissions reduction strategies of our valued customers across Asia,” added Gallagher.
