Oct 1 (Reuters) – Venture Global and ConocoPhillips said on Thursday they had signed a 20-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply agreement under which ConocoPhillips will buy 1 million tonnes a year of LNG starting in 2030.

Here are more details:
• Under the agreement, ConocoPhillips will purchase 1.0 million tonnes a year of LNG from Venture Global for 20 years, with deliveries beginning in 2030.
• Venture Global said the agreement will support ConocoPhillips’ growing global LNG portfolio.
• ConocoPhillips holds a 30% interest in QatarEnergy’s Ras Laffan LNG project and also has stakes in LNG expansion projects in Qatar.
• Venture Global said it has more than 100 MTPA of LNG capacity in production, construction or development.
• The company’s first three LNG projects, Calcasieu Pass, Plaquemines LNG and CP2 LNG, are located in Louisiana.
