中国石化新闻网讯 据OE网站12月7日报道,澳大利亚第二大独立天然气生产商桑托斯(Santos Ltd)周一表示,已签署一份为期10年的协议,将从其巴罗萨(Barossa)项目向日本三菱(Mitsubishi Corp.)旗下一家子公司供应液化天然气(LNG)。
桑托斯将从北部地区项目向三菱全资子公司 Diamond Gas International供应150万吨液化天然气,最初为期10年,并可选择进一步的液化天然气交易。
桑托斯补充道,该协议是达成该天然气项目最终投资决定的重要一步,预计将于2021年上半年完成。
该公司首席执行官加拉格尔(Kevin Gallagher)表示,该供应协议是该公司首次从其一个大型液化天然气项目出售长期液化天然气。
SPA提供了一个稳固的液化天然气承购协议,该协议占桑托斯从Barossa项目获得的超过80%的液化天然气权益,而我们预期的权益水平为50%。

Santos in 10-Year Barossa Gas Sales Deal with Mitsubishi
Australia's no. 2 independent gas producer Santos Ltd said on Monday it signed a 10-year agreement to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) from its Barossa project to a unit of Japan's Mitsubishi Corp.
Santos will supply Diamond Gas International 1.5 million tonnes of LNG from the Northern Territory project for an initial ten years with options for further LNG transactions.
The agreement is a significant step in reaching a final investment decision for the gas project, which is expected by the first half of 2021, Santos added.
The supply deal represents the company's first long-term LNG sale from one of its major LNG projects, Chief Executive Kevin Gallagher said.
"The SPA delivers a firm LNG offtake arrangement which represents over 80% of Santos' equity LNG volume from the Barossa project at our expected 50% interest level," he added.
The Adelaide-based firm in March deferred an investment decision on the project after oil prices plunged amid coronavirus-driven lockdowns.
The two companies also inked an agreement to jointly consider opportunities for carbon-neutral LNG from Barossa.
