Qatargas Gains Latin American Foothold With LNG Supply Deal

摘要

BMI View: Qatargas' LNG-supply deal with Argentina's Enarsa gives it its frst foothold in the Latin American LNG market. Qatargas will no doubt look to expand its presence in the region, where we expect imports to treble by the middle of the decade. Qatargas has signed a 20-year liquefed natural gas (LNG) supply deal with Argentina's Enarsa, marking the company's frst supply deal in Latin America, Qatargas announced on June 29. The deal will see Qatar, the world's largest LNG producer, start shipping as much as 5mn tonnes per annum (tpa), or 6.9bcm, of LNG to the Latin American country in 2014.
