The agreement covers the sale of all the production from the first train from the project in the Queensland state. Golar will deliver some 1.5 million tonnes a year of LNG to Toyota Tsusho over a 12-year period from 2014, with a separate build-up period starting at the end of 2012. In addition, Golar Energy will provide the shipping necessary to transport the LNG from Australia to Toyota Tsusho's nominated receiving facilities.
The parties will also discuss Toyota Tsusho's potential acquisition of a minority equity interest in the Gladstone project.
Currently, Golar and Australian Liquefied Natural Gas Ltd (ASX: LNG) hold 40% of the project each. Under an agreement signed in February, they will develop an LNG plant in the port of Gladstone. Australian coal seam gas producer Arrow Energy Ltd (ASX: AOE) has an option to take the final 20% equity in the project.
