Adnoc Gas will supply Japan’s Jera with LNG under a USD 450 mn agreement, according to a press release (pdf). Natural gas will be sourced from the Adnoc’s Das Island liquefaction facility, with a production capacity of approximately 6 mn tons a year.

This is not Jera and Adnoc’s first LNG agreement: This builds on a previous multi-year LNG supply agreement between the two firms inked in 2023 and valued between USD 500 mn and USD 700 mn.

ICYMI- Adnoc Gas finalized a 10-year sales and purchase agreement with India’s Gail last year for LNG from its Das Island facility. The agreement sees Adnoc Gas supplying 0.52 mn metric tonnes of LNG annually starting in 2026.

Adnoc Gas has been ramping up LNG supply agreements: The oil giant in December inked a 15-year LNG supply agreement with Germany’s energy infrastructure company EnBW for its Ruwais project, after a separate sales and purchase agreement was inked in November to supply Germany’s SEFE with 1 mtpa of LNG. It has also inked similar agreements with Malaysia’s state-owned oil and gas firm Petronas, Singapore’s Sefe Marketing & Trading, China’s ENN Natural Gas for 1 mn tonnes, and Shell and Mitsui. To date, over 8 mn tonnes per annum (mtpa) of the Al Ruwais LNG project’s 9.6 mtpa production capacity has been committed through long-term agreements.
