Germany's RWE AG (RWE.XE) said Thursday that it has signed a
deal for mid-term supply of liquefied natural gas with Australia's
Woodside Petroleum Ltd. (WPL.AU), with the supply primarily to be
sourced from the U.S.
Under the agreement between Woodside Energy Trading Singapore
Pte. and RWE Supply & Trading GmbH the gas will be supplied
from the fourth quarter of 2020 until December 2022, RWE said.
The liquefied natural gas will be supplied on a free-on-board
basis and will be mainly sourced from volumes Woodside has
contracted from the Corpus Christi LNG Project in Texas, USA, it
said.
The deal comes at a time when U.S. President Donald Trump has
been pushing Germany's government to open Europe's largest economy
to U.S. liquefied natural gas and drop support for the Nord Stream
2 pipeline project which would bring gas directly from Russia.
