Pembina Pipeline Corp. (TSX:PPL) is speaking with China’s Sinopec on a liquefied natural gas (LNG) offtake agreement and equity stake in its Cedar project.
The news was first reported by Reuters, which quoted Cedar and Pembina’s spokesperson, Shawn Roth who said, “Commercial negotiations with multiple other customers continue to progress as Pembina plans to assign its capacity to a third party.”
Though the talks are not public, it has been reported that Sinopec wants to purchase 1.5 million tons annually of Cedar LNG production under an offtake owned by Pembina.
The Cedar project is a joint venture between Haisla First Nation and Pembina and would be one of Canada’s first LNG export terminals.
At a projected cost of roughly C$4 billion, Cedar would produce 3 million metric tons of LNG per annum (MTPA), once complete by 2028, should a final investment decision later this year come to fruition.
Sinopec is the world’s largest refiner by capacity and acquired Canadian upstream projects from Petronas in 2014, including gas fields in northeastern British Columbia.
