The quantity of LNG to be supplied under the new SPA is up to 12 cargoes per year (equivalent to more than 0.8 million tonnes per annum or one billion cubic meters of natural gas).
Woodside Energy CEO Meg O’Neill said the new agreement built on the company’s existing relationship with Uniper.
“Woodside is pleased that this latest agreement with Uniper will provide a new source of LNG for consumers in Europe who are seeking alternatives to Russian gas. It also reflects the increasingly interconnected nature of LNG trade in the Atlantic and Pacific basins as global markets respond to energy security challenges,” she said.
Woodside also announced it had inked an LNG deal with Commonwealth LNG for the supply of up to 2.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of LNG over 20 years from Commonwealth’s LNG export facility under development in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
