Cheniere Energy, Inc. ("Cheniere" or the "Company") (NYSE:LNG) announced today that Cheniere's subsidiary, Cheniere Marketing, LLC ("Cheniere Marketing"), has entered into a long-term liquefied natural gas ("LNG") sale and purchase agreement ("SPA") with BASF ("BASF").
Cheniere Energy, Inc.（“Cheniere” 或 “公司”）（纽约证券交易所代码：LNG）今天宣布，Cheniere的子公司Cheniere Marketing, LLC（“Cheniere Marketing”）已与巴斯夫（“巴斯夫”）签订了长期的液化天然气（“LNG”）买卖协议（“SPA”）。
Under the SPA, BASF has agreed to purchase up to approximately 0.8 million tonnes per annum ("mtpa") of LNG from Cheniere Marketing on a free-on-board ("FOB") basis for a purchase price indexed to the Henry Hub price, plus a fixed liquefaction fee. Deliveries will commence in mid-2026 and, subject to a positive Final Investment Decision with respect to the first train ("Train Seven") of the Sabine Pass Liquefaction Expansion Project ("SPL Expansion Project") in Louisiana, will increase to approximately 0.8 mtpa upon the start of commercial operations of Train Seven. The term of the SPA extends through 2043.
根据该协议，巴斯夫已同意每年从Cheniere Marketing购买约80万吨（“mtpa”）的液化天然气，价格与Henry Hub价格挂钩，外加固定的液化费，价格与Henry Hub的价格挂钩。交付将于2026年年中开始，在路易斯安那州Sabine Pass液化扩建项目（“SPL扩建项目”）的第一列火车（“七号列车”）做出积极的最终投资决定后，交付量将在七号列车开始商业运营后增加到每年约80万吨。最高人民会议任期将延续到2043年。
"We are pleased to enter into this long-term relationship with BASF, a global leader in the chemical industry," said Anatol Feygin, Cheniere's Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. "This SPA demonstrates the critical role US natural gas plays in providing long-term secure, sustainable and affordable energy for Europe. With this agreement, we are supporting the objectives of one of Europe's key industrial end-use consumers to ensure stability of its supply chain."
Cheniere执行副总裁兼首席商务官Anatol Feygin表示：“我们很高兴与化工行业的全球领导者巴斯夫建立这种长期合作关系。“本次战略合作协议展示了美国天然气在为欧洲提供长期安全、可持续和负担得起的能源方面所起的关键作用。通过该协议，我们支持欧洲主要工业最终用途消费者之一的目标，以确保其供应链的稳定。”
"By establishing our own dedicated LNG supply chain with Cheniere, we are diversifying our energy and raw materials portfolio at a time of critical changes in the European gas market, which is marked by increased demand and volatile prices for LNG," said Dr. Dirk Elvermann, BASF's Chief Financial Officer. "While we are reducing our dependence on fossil fuels to reach our goal of net zero CO2 emissions by 2050, this agreement will ensure reliable supply of natural gas at competitive terms."
巴斯夫首席财务官德克·埃尔弗曼博士表示：“通过与Cheniere建立自己的专用液化天然气供应链，在欧洲天然气市场发生重大变化的时候，我们正在实现能源和原材料组合的多元化，其特点是液化天然气需求增加和价格波动。”“尽管我们正在减少对化石燃料的依赖，以实现到2050年二氧化碳净零排放的目标，但该协议将确保以具有竞争力的条件可靠地供应天然气。”
The SPL Expansion Project is being developed for up to approximately 20 mtpa of total LNG capacity. In May 2023, certain subsidiaries of Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE:CQP) entered the pre-filing review process with respect to the SPL Expansion Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission under the National Environmental Policy Act.
SPL扩建项目正在开发中，液化天然气总产能高达每年约2000万吨。2023年5月，Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P.（纽约证券交易所代码：CQP）的某些子公司根据《国家环境政策法》向联邦能源监管委员会进入了SPL扩建项目的申报前审查程序。
