TOTAL

Total (Paris:FP)(LSE:TTA)(NYSE:TOT) has signed long-term liquefied natural gas (LNG) sale and purchase agreements with state-owned Indonesian company Pertamina for the supply of LNG volumes increasing from 0.4 to 1 million tonnes per year over a period of 15 years beginning 2020.

“These agreements allow the Group to further expand its longstanding cooperation with Pertamina and to enhance both companies’ LNG portfolios,” outlined Laurent Vivier, President Gas at Total. “Strengthening our presence in Asia, in particular through innovative relationships with new LNG buyers such as Pertamina, is an important part of our strategy.”

Under the terms of the agreements, Total will purchase from 2020 around 0.4 million tonnes per year of Pertamina’s contracted LNG volumes from Corpus Christi LNG, currently under construction in the United States. In parallel, Total will supply from its global portfolio to Pertamina a volume growing over time from 0.4 to 1 million tonnes per year of LNG.
