据油价网8月22日消息称，美国最大的液化天然气生产商切尼尔能源公司与德国巴斯夫公司达成协议，向该化工巨头每年供应80万吨液化天然气。

与巴斯夫的协议是切尼尔今年迄今签署的几项长期供应协议之一。

该交易取决于切尼尔的萨宾帕斯项目的完成情况，该项目正在开发中，包括多达三条液化生产线，预计总生产能力约为2000万吨/年。去年，亚洲大型燃气集团与切尼尔签署了一项为期13年的协议，每年购买90万吨液化天然气，同样基于亨利枢纽价格。

切尼尔每天将超过47亿立方英尺的天然气加工成液化天然气。萨宾帕斯有多条管道连接到州际和州内管道，距离墨西哥湾不到4海里，因此航海船只可以很容易地到达。

同样在6月，切尼尔与Equinor签订了另一项液化天然气买卖协议，Equinor将以离岸价格购买175万吨/年的液化天然气，购买价格与亨利枢纽价格挂钩，为期15年。

Cheniere Energy Strikes LNG Supply Deal With BASF

The United States’ largest producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), Cheniere Energy (NYSE:LNG), has struck a deal with Germany’s BASF SE (OTCQX:BASFY) to supply the chemical giant with 0.8 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG to the chemicals giant.

The BASF deal is one of several long-term supply deals Cheniere has signed so far this year.

The deal is subject to the completion of Cheniere’s Sabine Pass project, which is being developed to include up to three liquefaction trains with an expected total production capacity of ~20M tons/year of LNG. Last year, Asian gas group signed a 13-year deal with Cheniere to purchase 900K metric tons/year, again based on Henry Hub prices.

Cheniere processes more than 4.7 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas into LNG. Sabine Pass has multiple pipeline connections to interstate and intrastate pipelines, and is located less than four nautical miles from the Gulf of Mexico thus providing easy access to seafaring vessels.

Also in June, Cheinere entered another LNG sale and purchase agreement with Equinor ASA (NYSE:EQNR) that will see the Norwegian national oil company purchase 1.75M metric tons/year of LNG on a free-on-board basis for a purchase price indexed to the Henry Hub price, for a 15-year term.
