“This sales agreement, the first of its kind, will contribute to export natural gas - including shale gas - produced in the US - to the global LNG market and will contribute to diversification and security of energy supply. It will also be a part of GDF Suez ambition to deepen its role into the Asia-Pacific region and to expand long term supply into a region where LNG demand for the future is high. We are pleased to be among the first movers in the export of shale gas from the US and to enter into a long term relationship with CPC and to contribute to the security of energy supply also in Asia,” commented Jean-Marie Dauger, Executive VP, in charge of Global Gas & LNG business line.
