BP and OMV sign LNG supply agreement

Under the terms of the agreement, BP will provide OMV with LNG from its diverse portfolio of LNG, which will be received and re-gasified through the Gate LNG terminal in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where OMV holds regasification capacity, or other terminals in Europe.

Jonty Shepard, VP global LNG trading & origination, BP, said: “At BP, we see LNG as an essential part of the energy transition. We are pleased to conclude this LNG SPA with OMV, with whom we have a longstanding relationship.”

Alfred Stern, chairman of the executive board and CEO of OMV AG, commented: “It is one of OMV’s key priorities to drive forward our ongoing diversification of supply sources that encompasses gas from our own production and external sources from Norway, as well as additional LNG volumes. In tandem with the recent news regarding our additional gas transport capacities until 2028, our agreement with BP reflects our significant contribution to the security of supply to our customers in Austria and Europe. Our partnership with BP, spanning a 10-year period from 2026, is an important strategic step towards diversifying and safeguarding our supply sources in the long-term.”
