Jordan Cove LNG reaches second preliminary deal

摘要

Canadian energy infrastructure company Veresen has reached a second preliminary deal for its Jordan Cove LNG export project in the US, as it tries to convince federal regulators to rescind the denial of a construction permit. The most recent deal is with Japanese trading firm Itochu for 1.5mn t/yr of liquefaction capacity, equivalent to about 200mn ft~3/d (2.1bn m~3/yr) of gas, for 20 years, Veresen said on 8 April. The firm signed a preliminary 20-year deal with Japanese importer Jera for at least 1.5mn t/yr of capacity on 22 March. Jera is a joint venture of utilities Tepco and Chubu Electric Power (see p5).
