Venture Global Secures 5-Year LNG Deal with Trafigura

Venture Global has secured a five-year LNG supply agreement with Trafigura for 0.5 MMtpy beginning in 2026, expanding its mid-term contract portfolio as demand for flexible U.S. LNG continues to grow.

(P&GJ) — Venture Global has signed a five-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) purchase agreement with global commodities trader Trafigura for approximately 0.5 million metric tons per year (MMtpy) of U.S. LNG beginning in 2026.

The binding mid-term agreement expands Venture Global’s contract portfolio and reflects continued global demand for flexible U.S. LNG supply.

Under the agreement, Trafigura will purchase 0.5 MMtpy over a five-year term, adding diversification to Venture Global’s mix of long- and mid-term contracts while providing portfolio flexibility to the trading firm.

“Trafigura is a global leader in LNG trading, and we are pleased to execute this mid-term LNG supply agreement with them to provide the market with flexible and reliable U.S. LNG,” said Venture Global CEO Mike Sabel. “Global energy demand is stronger than ever, and this is an important step in executing our strategy of adding more mid-term agreements, which will diversify the tenor of our LNG portfolio. Venture Global looks forward to helping ensure the world remains well-supplied in the short, medium, and long term.”

Trafigura said the agreement strengthens its ability to connect U.S. LNG supply with customers across key international markets.

“This agreement with Venture Global, a leading American producer and exporter of LNG, further strengthens and diversifies our global portfolio – reinforcing our ability to connect U.S. supply with customers across key international markets. US LNG supply is increasingly critical to global energy security, and we look forward to building on this collaboration with Venture Global,” said Igor Marin, Global Head of Gas, Power & Renewables at Trafigura.

Venture Global is one of the largest LNG exporters in the United States, with more than 100 MMtpy of capacity across projects in operation, construction and development. Its first three projects — Calcasieu Pass, Plaquemines LNG and CP2 LNG — are located in Louisiana along the Gulf Coast. The company is also developing carbon capture and sequestration projects tied to its LNG facilities.
