In a significant move for the liquefied natural gas (LNG) market, Venture Global, an American producer of LNG sourced from North American basins, has struck a long-term LNG agreement with Vitol, a leading global energy and commodities company. According to the announcement, the multi-year deal will see Venture Global supply LNG from its Plaquemines LNG and CP2 LNG export facilities to Vitol. The agreement underscores Venture Global's growing footprint in the global LNG trade and Vitol's strategy to secure reliable long-term LNG supply.
