Total, China’s Guanghui Sign LNG Deal

French Total and China’s Guanghui have signed a long-term sale and purchase agreement for the supply of 0.7mn metric tons/year for a period of 10 years, Total said April 3.

“We are delighted to start a long-term relationship with Guanghui, an increasingly successful LNG market player in China with clear ambitions for growth. This new supply contract is in line with Total’s strategy to expand its presence in the Chinese LNG market, which grew by over 41% in 2018 and will continue to be a key driver of the LNG markets growth in the future,” commented Laurent Vivier, senior vice-president gas at Total.

The LNG will be delivered to Guanghui’s regasification terminal in Qidong, Jiangsu province, from Total’s global LNG portfolio. The French company did not say when the deliveries will start.
