Under the terms of the agreement, BP will receive 0.75 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG over 15 years on a free on board (FOB) basis, with first delivery expected in 2023.

Concurrently,  BP Canada Energy Group (BP Canada) and PO&G are working on an agreement for BP Canada to provide gas transportation and balancing services ensuring reliable delivery of gas to the Woodfibre LNG export facility over the 15-year term, Woodfibre LNG’s statement reads.

Speaking of the agreement which makes BP Woodfibre LNG’s foundation buyer, Jonty Shepard, CEO of BP’s LNG global business, said it broadens BP’s supplier base and further develops its LNG portfolio.
