Papua New Guinea LNG export plant seeks to sell 6 cargos in tender
2/21/2017
MILAN (Reuters) -- ExxonMobil's Papua New Guinea liquefied natural gas (PNG LNG) export facility is seeking to sell six cargoes in a tender, trade sources said.
Cargoes are for delivery between May and October, traders said, adding that they expected the tender to attract high levels of interest.
"It's also a bearish sign that PNG is trying to sell so many ... it suggests expected demand from the plant's long-term customers in Japan, Taiwan and others is weak," one source said.
Customers at the 6.9 MMtpy plant are Tokyo Electric Power Company, Osaka Gas, Taiwan's CPC and China's Sinopec.
