BP and The Kansai Electric Co., Inc. (Kansai Electric) have entered into a sales and purchase agreement for LNG, and a cooperation agreement for the purpose of exploring opportunities for business collaboration.

Under the agreements, BP will provide Kansai Electric with up to 13 million t of LNG over 23 years, from BP’s diverse portfolio of LNG sources. In addition, the agreements provide for Kansai Electric and BP to explore areas of cooperation across a wide range of LNG business activities such as LNG trading, and optimisation of LNG ship operations.

Paul Reed, Chief Executive of BP Integrated Supply and Trading, said: “BP highly appreciates the long term relationship with Kansai Electric that has resulted in the conclusion of these new LNG sales and cooperation agreements. Building on a separate LNG sale and purchase agreement signed in 2013, this new LNG deal entails additional supply from BP’s portfolio. We are very pleased that Kansai Electric and BP have agreed this expanded LNG business and we look forward to working together to explore areas of further cooperation.”
