General – LNG
JERA recently signed a long-term liquefied natural gas (LNG) sale and purchase agreement with QatarEnergy.
The agreement secures the supply of 3.0 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) for 27 years, with deliveries expected to begin in 2028.
Under this SPA, LNG will be supplied on a delivered ex-ship (DES) basis from Qatar’s LNG production facilities.
This agreement marks a new chapter in a partnership started over 30 years ago. As one of the world’s largest producers with abundant natural gas reserves, Qatar has long been a cornerstone of Japan’s energy security, notably providing critical emergency LNG supplies following the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011.
Building on the legacy inherited from its founding shareholders, JERA has further nurtured a longstanding partnership with QatarEnergy over the past decade.
