LNG export contract terms start making waves

Royal Dutch Shell plc (ticker: RDS.A) and Kuwait Petroleum Corp. signed a 15-year LNG contract in Dec., covering 2-3 million metric tons of LNG a year.

Additionally, Dominion Energy (ticker: D) negotiated 20-year contracts with ST Cove Point, a JV of Sumitomo Corporation and Tokyo Gas, and with GGULL, the U.S. affiliate of GAIL (India) LTD. GAIL, by itself, has decided to source up to 5.8 million tons of LNG from Cheniere and Dominion.

China recently started a project with FortisBC, where the Canadian company moved LNG via container ships – this pilot program works around Canada’s lack of export terminals. About 17 metric tons of LNG was transported from FortisBC’s Tilbury plant in Vancouver to China.
