Woodside Inks 9-Year LNG Deal with Turkey’s BOTAS

SECAUCUS, NJ (DTN) — Houston-based liquefied natural gas shipper Woodside Energy announced that it will deliver about  500,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) to Turkey’s crude oil and natural gas pipeline company BOTAS for a period of nine years beginning 2030.

The two companies finalized a binding sale and purchase agreement for the long-term LNG supply after a preliminary deal reached earlier this year on energy cooperation, Woodside said in a statement late  Sunday (12/29).

The primary supply source for the LNG cargos will be the $17.5 billion Woodside Louisiana liquefaction and export terminal currently under construction in Calcasieu Parish, near Lake Charles. Woodside reached a final investment decision on the initial 16.5-milllion TPA phase in April 2025.
