QatarEnergy secures up to 4 mtpa of U.S. LNG from Cheniere through 2054

QatarEnergy signed two long‑term supply agreements with Cheniere Energy to buy up to 4 million tonnes of LNG each year, split between the Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi plants. Deliveries are slated to start in the early 2030s and will continue until the end of 2054. The price will be tied to the U.S. Henry Hub index plus a fixed component. One million tonnes from Sabine Pass remain subject to a final investment decision on the plant’s expansion.

The agreements give Cheniere a multi‑decade off‑take that should bolster its revenue stream through 2054.
