Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. (Osaka Gas) and Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. (Chubu Electric) have executed binding liquefaction tolling agreements with FLNG Liquefaction, LLC (FLIQ), an affiliate of Freeport LNG Expansion, L.P. (“FLEX” and, together with FLIQ, “Freeport LNG”)

Freeport LNG plans to construct a liquefaction facility consisting of three trains each with a capacity of approximately 4.4 million tons of LNG per annum (mtpa) at the existing Freeport LNG regasification terminal. After gaining regulatory approvals, namely a long-term authorization from the Department of Energy to export LNG to non-FTA countries and a construction permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Freeport LNG will start construction of the liquefaction facility towards its launch of commercial operation in 2017.
