Petronet will not buy additional 1MMTPA of LNG from Ras Gas of Qatar

Petronet LNG Ltd said Friday it will not buy an additional 1 MMTPA of LNG from RasGas of Qatar following the restructuring the supply agreement with the latter. Petronet LNG Limited in December 2015 announced the signing of a binding sale and purchase agreement with RasGas of Qatar (LNG Supplier) for the supply of an additional 1 MMTP A of LNG for onward sale to IOCL, BPCL, GAIL and GSPC.

At the request of the four entities, the contract has been re-structured by having a direct arrangement between the LNG supplier and the Indian entities with effect from January 1, 2019, Petronet LNG said in a BSE filing. Petronet will now continue to provide the storage, receiving and re-gasification services for the above-mentioned contract but will not be the buyer of LNG.
