QatarEnergy signs 20-year US LNG deal with Woodside

· Energy · Qatar · Australia

Woodside has struck a two-decade supply agreement with QatarEnergy for LNG from its project in Louisiana, United States. The deal locks in another long-term offtake for US liquefaction capacity, tying Qatari state energy capital to American export volumes through 2040s-era contract terms. Woodside is developing the Louisiana project as part of its push into US LNG, while QatarEnergy, one of the world's largest LNG producers, keeps expanding its portfolio of stakes and supply deals beyond its domestic trains.

Why it matters：Long-term contracts underpin final investment decisions for US LNG export plants, and Qatari capital backing American volumes signals how global LNG supply is being locked up years ahead.

Key points

  • The agreement runs 20 years.
  • The LNG comes from Woodside's Louisiana project.
  • QatarEnergy is building supply deals beyond its home production.
