Statoil, Gazprom Talk US LNG

摘要

Norway's Statoil and Gazprom's US affiliate have agreed to negotiate tighter LNG cooperation. The two announced Tuesday they had signed a "nonbinding memorandum of understanding" to finalize four separate arrangements by the end of March 2010, one of which has partially begun. Gazprom Marketing & Trading USA would receive access to 50 MMcf/d (roughly 0.5 Bcm/yr) of regas capacity from Statoil at Cove Point, Maryland, starting in 2010.
