Chevron Corporation announced on the 7th April that its wholly owned subsidiary Chevron USA Inc (Singapore Branch) (CUSA) has signed a deal with Hokkaido Gas Company, Ltd for the delivery of liquefied natural gas from Chevron’s global LNG portfolio to the Hokkaido area in Japan.

 

As part of the deal, CUSA will supply Hokkaido Gas with about a half million tons of LNG over a period of five years, starting from April next year, Chevron revealed.

 

“We are delighted to design and execute a sales and purchase agreement (SPA) with our new partner Hokkaido Gas which will bring Chevron LNG directly to Hokkaido, a key growth area,” John Kuehn, the president of Chevron Global Gas, which is a division of CUSA, said in a company statement posted on Chevron’s website.

 

“It broadens our customer base in Japan, a market which is foundational to our LNG business. This new SPA represents Chevron’s commitment to collaborate with Hokkaido Gas in diversifying energy solutions and advancing a lower carbon future in the Hokkaido area,” the Chevron representative added in the statement.
