Singapore/Abu Dhabi, UAE, 18 October 2023 – JERA Global Markets Pte. Ltd. (“JERA Global Markets”) and ADNOC Gas plc have signed a multi-year LNG supply agreement. Under the terms of the agreement valued between US$500 million (AED 1.8 billion) and US$700 million (AED 2.5 billion), the contracted LNG volumes will be supplied from ADNOC Gas’ Das Project and will be delivered to JERA Global Markets’ global supply portfolio. 

“We are pleased to re-establish our LNG partnership with ADNOC Gas as the JERA group continuously looks towards strengthening our global LNG portfolio with stable, flexible, and competitive LNG supply, which is essential in the energy transition,” said Kazunori Kasai, Chief Optimisation Officer, JERA Co., Inc. and Chairman, JERA Global Markets.
