Principal Terms for 1.5 Mtpa of LNG Offtake for 15-year term
Commonwealth Projects, LLC and Gunvor Group Ltd today announced their
respective subsidiaries, Commonwealth LNG, LLC and Gunvor Singapore Pte
Ltd, have signed a heads of agreement (HOA). The HOA anticipates the
negotiation and finalization of a definitive 15-year liquefied natural
gas (LNG) sale-and-purchase agreement (SPA) for 1.5 million tonnes per
annum (Mtpa) of LNG offtake from the Commonwealth LNG export project
under development in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
Kalpesh Patel, Gunvor Co-Head of LNG Trading said, "The agreement with
Commonwealth LNG is a significant step in executing Gunvor’s overall
strategy of uncovering and securing low cost resources and seamlessly
delivering them to high value markets. We look forward to working with
the Commonwealth team as they continue to progress their project.”
"We are proud to be entering into an agreement for a portion of our LNG
offtake with the Gunvor Group – one of the world’s premier commodities
trading houses,” said Paul Varello, Commonwealth’s President and CEO.
“Our mantra is to develop LNG solutions for the next generation; in
Gunvor, we have found a commercial partner who not only shares that
vision, but through its creativity and innovation exemplifies it.”
Commonwealth LNG expects to take a final investment decision on the
project later next year.
