Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of the US energy group Sempra, has entered into a long-term sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with RWE Supply & Trading, a subsidiary of the German energy group RWE, for the supply of approximately 2.25 Mt/year of LNG from the Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project under development in Jefferson County, Texas (United States). First supplies are expected in 2027 and the LNG will be delivered on a free-on-board basis for 15 years.
Sempra Infrastructure recently entered into long-term agreements with ConocoPhillips, INEOS and ENGIE for the sale and purchase of approximately 7.3 Mt/year of LNG from the proposed Phase 1 project. The Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project is permitted and expected to include two gas liquefaction trains and LNG storage tanks and associated facilities capable of producing up to approximately 13.5 Mt/year of LNG. A similarly sized Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project is also under active marketing and development.
Sempra is focused on completing the remaining steps necessary to achieve its goal of making a final investment decision for Phase 1 of the liquefaction project in the first quarter of 2023.
