China's oil producer PetroChina Co will be signing an accord with Exxon Mobil Corp. targeted in the first half of this year to buy liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Gorgon project in Australia under a term contract.
The world's largest oil company, ExxonMobil owns 25% of the Western Australian Project with remaining stakes by Chevron Corp with 50 percent stake and Royal Dutch Shell Plc has 25 percent. Under the agreement, Exxon agreed to sell 2 million metric tons of LNG a year from the Gorgon project.
This will be on top of PetroChina's 2 million ton per year agreement with Shell in 2008 from the Gorgon project under Shell's portfolio.
