Venture Global LNG Inc. is progressing its planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in Louisiana after securing twin offtake agreements with an ExxonMobil affiliate.

The Arlington, VA-based company inked two 20-year sale and purchase agreements (SPA) for a combined 2 million metric tons/year (mmty) with ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Pte Ltd. The affiliate may split the sales, with 1 mmty from the proposed Plaquemines LNG facility and 1 mmty from the second phase of the Calcasieu Pass LNG terminal (CP2).

ExxonMobil’s Peter Clarke, vice president of LNG, said the additional volume would help “continue to grow ExxonMobil’s LNG portfolio and progress our plans to reliably deliver natural gas…to global markets.”
