British oil-and-gas major BP signed a long-term sale and
purchase agreement with Austria's OMV for the supply of liquefied
natural gas.
The Austrian oil-and-gas company said Friday that the 10-year
agreement covers the supply of up to 1 million metric tons of
liquefied natural gas a year starting in 2026.
BP will supply the gas, which will be regasified in the
Netherlands, where OMV has regasification capacity, or other
terminals in Europe.
Meanwhile, OMV unveiled what it called the largest natural gas
discovery in Austria in 40 years at the Wittau Tief-2a exploration
well.
The group said a preliminary assessment indicates potential
recoverable resources of roughly 48 terawatt hours, or 28 million
barrels of oil equivalent. OMV expects its natural gas production
in Austria to increase by 50% after full development of the
site.
OMV didn't disclose financial terms of the deal.
