Malaysia's Petronas signs LNG supply deal with China's CNOOC

[KUALA LUMPUR] Malaysian state-owned energy firm Petroliam Nasional said on Wednesday (Dec 24) it would supply Chinese offshore oil and gas company CNOOC with 1 million tonnes per annum of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

The agreement between Petronas LNG and CNOOC Gas and Power Singapore Trading & Marketing builds upon existing cooperation between the two companies, Petronas said in a statement.

In 2021, Petronas signed a 10-year LNG supply agreement with a subsidiary of CNOOC, valued at about US$7 billion.

Both CNOOC and Petronas did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests seeking details, including the deal tenure.

Petronas signed a similar deal in November with Canadian oil and gas company Pembina Pipeline to supply 1 million tonnes per annum of LNG for 20 years from its Cedar LNG project. REUTERS
