The LNG will be sourced from Santos’ extensive portfolio of LNG assets and delivered on an ex-ship basis.

Santos managing director and CEO Kevin Gallagher said the LNG contract with Glencore marks an extension of their existing business relationship. It also marks an opportunity for both Santos and Glencore to leverage their expertise in Asian LNG markets.

Gallagher added: “This oil-indexed contract along with the recently executed long-term LNG sales and purchase agreement with Hokkaido Gas in Japan demonstrates Santos’ strong LNG portfolio position and customer relationships in the region.

“There continues to be extremely strong demand in Asia for high heating value LNG from projects such as Barossa and PNG LNG. Santos is committed to supporting the energy security of our valued customers across Asia.”

In May 2024, Santos signed a long-term LNG supply and purchase agreement (SPA) with Japan’s Hokkaido Gas. 

Set to commence in 2027, the deal involves the annual supply of up to 400,000 tonnes of LNG over a period of ten years. 

The SPA also includes a collaborative effort between the two companies to investigate carbon sequestration and e-methane projects to reduce carbon emissions across their operations.
