Dow Jones News
Inpex Corp. (1605.TO) and Total SA (TOT) have finalized sales
agreements with customers in Japan and Taiwan for their proposed
Ichthys gas-export project in northern Australia, the country's
resources minister Martin Ferguson said Tuesday.
The agreements to provide Taiwan's CPC Corp. and Japan's Chubu
Electric Power Co. (9505.TO) and Toho Co. (8142.TO) with liquefied
natural gas were first announced in June.
Ferguson said the initial agreements were converted into binding
sales and purchase agreements at a signing ceremony in Melbourne
Tuesday.
Inpex and Total have also agreed to sell LNG from the project to
another five Japanese utilities and are close to making a final
investment decision on the project's construction.
In 2008, Inpex estimated that Ichthys would cost US$20 billion
to build, but this is likely to be revised higher when the project
is sanctioned. Citigroup in June estimated Ichthys will cost
US$32.5 billion.
Inpex said in June it has agreed to sell to CPC 1.75 million
metric tons a year of LNG from the project for 15 years commencing
2017. It also said it had agreed to sell Chubu Electric 490,000
tons a year and Toho 280,000 tons.
A spokeswoman for Inpex wasn't immediately available for comment
Tuesday.
