Osaka buys more North West Shelf gas
Japan's Osaka Gas has sealed a six-year deal - starting in April next year -
with Australia's North West Shelf Liquefied Natural Gas venture partners for
about 500,000 tonnes of LNG per annum.
The new contract comes after a 20-year contract to buy about 790,000 tonnes of
LNG a year from the joint-venture ends March next year.
Osaka Gas had previously entered into a 30-year contract from April 2004 to
purchase around 1 million tonnes of LNG per annum from the joint venture.
The six equal partners in the North West Shelf joint-venture are Woodside
Petroleum, BHP Billiton, Chevron, BP, Shell and Japan Australia LNG (MiMi).
