London, 11 July, 2023, (Oilandgaspress) Centrica and Delfin Midstream Inc. today announced the signature of a long-term Sale and Purchase Agreement for 1.0 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) for 15-years on a Free on Board (“FOB”) basis at the Delfin Deepwater Port, located 40 nautical miles off the coast of Louisiana. This agreement will see Centrica take delivery of around 14 LNG cargoes per year and could provide enough energy to heat 5% of UK homes for 15 years.
The deal, with a market value of $8bn, marks an additional move by Centrica to build further resilience in the UK’s energy security. It follows a three-year supply agreement with Equinor that will heat 4.5m UK homes through to 2024 and the reopening of the Rough gas storage facility in October 2022. Rough now provides half of the UK’s total gas storage capacity with the potential to store over 50 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas, enough to heat almost 10% of UK homes throughout winter. As a foundation customer of the Delfin LNG project, Centrica’s offtake underpins investment in the next wave of incremental LNG supply from the US. It will complement a diversified and flexible LNG portfolio.
