(P&GJ) — German energy company Uniper has signed an eight-year natural gas supply agreement with Canada’s Tourmaline Oil Corp., the country’s largest gas producer, the companies announced on July 30.
The deal covers 80,000 Metric Million British Thermal Units (MMBtu) per day beginning in November 2028, with a total expected volume of about 234 billion cubic feet (6.6 billion cubic meters) over the contract term. Gas will be delivered to the ANR SE trading hub in southeast Louisiana and priced against the Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF) benchmark, giving Tourmaline exposure to international markets.
Carsten Poppinga, Uniper’s chief commercial officer, said the agreement reflects the company’s push to expand its supply sources in North America.
“We are extremely pleased to close this deal with one of Canada’s most respected gas producers,” Poppinga said. “It showcases our ability to offer important international pricing exposure to a valued North America supplier and further diversifies Uniper’s LNG supply sourcing portfolio, an important aspect of our European security of supply objectives.”
Mike Rose, president and CEO of Tourmaline, said the contract fits the company’s long-term strategy.
“This long-term supply agreement with Uniper supports the continued execution of our market diversification strategy,” Rose said. “We’re proud to be supplying Canadian natural gas to meet rising demand in international markets and to enhance European energy security.”
The agreement follows Uniper’s separate LNG purchase deal with Woodside Energy earlier this year, covering up to 2 million tonnes per annum from a planned Louisiana export terminal.
