Woodside to supply QatarEnergy with Louisiana LNG in 20-year deal

Woodside and QatarEnergy have agreed to a 20-year deal for LNG from Woodside’s Louisiana project, Reuters reports. QatarEnergy says deliveries are expected to start in 2030. Supply volumes will rise to 3 million metric tons annually when Louisiana LNG Train 3 starts. The deal gives QatarEnergy a source outside the Gulf while shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, and helps Woodside sell capacity at a project with few committed buyers.
