Chevron Corp have signed a non binding agreement with Chubu Electric to supply 1 mtpa for up to 20 years. Chubu, which will receive the supply from WA's Wheatstone project, is the 3rd largest utility in Japan.
Chubu already have a deal in place to receive delivery of LNG from another WA plant, Chevron's Gorgon project.
"Chubu is a long term customer of our Australian natural gas portfolio and is due to receive 2.5 mtpa of LNG collectively from the Gorgon and Wheatstone projects," Roy Krzywosinski, managing director, Chevron Australia, said in a statement.
Chevron have now sold 70 per cent of 8.9 mtpa of LNG that Wheatstone will produce. This positions Chevron to be the largest producer of LNG in Australia.
