Peru LNG Cargo Bound for Japan

Peru LNG shipped a cargo of liquefied natural gas to Japan on December 23, according to PeruPetro S.A.

The cargo is being hauled by the 173,600 cubic-meter Castillo de Santisteban, and it is due to arrive at the Oita LNG terminal on January 17.

The Peru LNG Project includes two parts: an LNG Plant with a Marine Terminal from which LNG is sent overseas and a pipeline connected to the existing TgP pipeline to transport natural gas from the connection point in the mountains of Ayacucho to the LNG Plant located on the coast.

Four energy companies form the Peru LNG consortium: Hunt Oil Company of the United States, with a 50% participating interest; SK Energy of South Korea, with a 20% participating interest; Repsol of Spain, also with a 20% participating interest; and Marubeni Corporation of Japan, with a 10% participating interest.
