LNG Offtake Agreement
EXPAND ENERGY Corp · 2026-04-28 · Importance 47 · Surprise 60
On April 22, 2026 Expand executed a long-term liquefaction SPA with Delfin FLNG 1 LLC, subject to final investment decision, to purchase ~1.15 million tonnes of LNG per annum with a targeted contract start date in 2031 and pricing tied to Henry Hub. This SPA replaces previously announced SPAs (the filings note that earlier SPAs with Delfin and Gunvor were terminated), indicating a re‑shaping of the company’s long‑term LNG commercialization strategy. The offtake volume is material to the company’s access to international LNG markets and aligns with structural demand drivers cited elsewhere (new export capacity). The agreement is contingent on Delfin’s FID and therefore is a committed offtake only upon that project’s progression to final investment.
