May 3 (Reuters) - U.S. pipeline operator Energy Transfer LP
ET.N said on Tuesday it will supply 0.4 million tonnes of
liquefied natural gas (LNG) per year to South Korea's SK Gas
Trading LLC for 18 years.
Long-term LNG contracts are ramping up as sanctions on
Russian fuel squeeze an already tightly supplied market and
increase global demand for U.S. LNG. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL2N2WU14A
Energy Transfer said first deliveries are expected to begin
in 2026 from its Lake Charles export facility in Louisiana.
This is Energy Transfer's fourth supply deal announced in
the last four weeks, bringing the total LNG contracted from its
Lake Charles project to 5.1 million tonnes per year.
