Peru Ships LNG Cargo to South Korea

The latest LNG cargo to be loaded at the Peru LNG terminal has been dispatched to South Korea, according to PeruPetro S.A

The 173,400 cubic-meter Barcelona Knutsen departed from the Peru LNG terminal on May 17, and it is due to arrive at the Pyeongtaek terminal on June 7.

The Peru LNG project includes two parts: an LNG plant with a marine terminal from which LNG is sent overseas, and a pipeline connected to the existing TgP pipeline to transport natural gas from the connection point in the mountains of Ayacucho to the LNG plant located on the coast.

Four energy companies form the Peru LNG consortium: Hunt Oil Company of the United States, with a 50% participating interest; SK Energy of South Korea, with a 20% participating interest; Repsol of Spain, also with a 20% participating interest; and Marubeni Corporation of Japan, with a 10% participating interest.
