Santos has signed a long-term LNG Supply and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Hokkaido Gas Co. The agreement will supply up to approximately 0.4 million tonnes per annum of LNG for 10 years, commencing in 2027, from Santos’ LNG portfolio on a delivered ex-ship basis.
In addition to the LNG supply, Santos and Hokkaido Gas plan to collaborate on exploring carbon sequestration and e-methane opportunities to reduce carbon emissions across their respective portfolios.
Santos Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Kevin Gallagher said the contract is consistent with Santos’ strategy of maintaining long-term LNG pricing and demonstrates the value of Santos’ high-quality LNG portfolio.
This agreement further demonstrates the strong demand for high heating value LNG from projects such as Barossa and PNG LNG.
Our agreement with Hokkaido Gas demonstrates Santos’ commitment to providing reliable, competitive energy supplies to support our valued customers in Asia. We also look forward to working together to explore CCS and emethane opportunities to support Japan’s and Santos’ decarbonisation targets.
