Enarsa revealed this in a document posted on its website after it completed three tenders seeking spot cargoes.
Each of the cargoes, with a capacity of 2,100,000 MMBtu, is expected to meet peak seasonal demand for natural gas.
The document shows that Enarsa selected BP’s unit, BP Gas Marketing, to supply all six LNG cargoes from April to June to the Escobar terminal as part of the first tender.
BP delivered three LNG cargoes from the Atlantic LNG terminal in Trinidad and Tobago and one shipment from Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass facility in the US, while the origin of two cargoes has not been revealed.
The average price for these six LNG cargoes is 13.666/MMBtu, or about $172.19 million in total for all the shipments.
Moreover, Enarsa also selected BP Gas Marketing to deliver all eight LNG shipments from June to July as part of the second tender.
The origin of these cargoes has not been revealed.
The average price for these eight LNG cargoes is 11.477/MMBtu, or about $192.81 million in total for all of the shipments.
Additionally, Enarsa selected BP Gas Marketing to deliver one shipment in August under the third tender.
TotalEnergies won seven cargoes under this tender.
The origin of these cargoes has not been disclosed, while the average price for these eight LNG cargoes is $ 12.054/MMBtu, or approximately $202.5 million in total.
