Woodside signs LNG supply deal with Uniper, boosting Louisiana LNG prospects

Australia’s Woodside has signed two liquefied natural gas sale and purchase deals with German energy company Uniper for the total supply of two million tonnes a year of LNG.

With the deal Woodside will supply Uniper with one million tonnes a year from Louisiana LNG and the other one million tonnes from its wider portfolio.
