Gazprom seals US LNG deal

The world’s largest natural gas company Gazprom has sealed a deal with US-based Sempra Energy that will allow Russia’s energy giant to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) to another US receipt terminal and further broaden its client base and its reach in the market.

The agreement has been signed between Gazprom's UK-arm, Gazprom Global (GGLNG), and Sempra Energy's Sempra LNG and allows GGLNG to supply LNG to Sempra LNG's receipt terminal in Lake Charles near the US Gulf Coast.

"We are very excited about the deal, which will help Gazprom group achieve its goal of expanding its LNG portfolio in the Atlantic Basin," says Frederic Barnaud, president and managing
