Cheniere signs Thai LNG supply agreement
State-owned PTT has inked its first US supply deal
US LNG exporter Cheniere continues to contract out supplies under long-term deals, with the latest being a 1mn t/yr SPA signed with Thailand’s state-owned PTT set to begin in 2026. Prices are indexed to the Henry Hub plus a fixed liquefaction fee. The LNG cargoes will be delivered on both a Fob and a Des basis.
