ExxonMobil's PNG LNG Inks 3-Year Supply Deal With PetroChina
Read MoreHide Full Article
The Papua New Guinea (PNG) liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) project, operated by Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM - Free Report) , recently struck a supply deal with PetroChina Company Limited .
Per the three-year deal, around 0.45 million tons of LNG will be supplied every year to the integrated energy company, PetroChina, which is a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation. The LNG transaction of 1.35 million tons (in total) was expected to start last week. The deal is estimated at $800 million, per Financial Review.
Notably, the latest deal raises the project volume to 7 million tons per year. Of the total project capacity, 6.6 million tons per year is committed to clients like China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation , Osaka Gas, JERA and others. Previously, PetroChina used to buy spot LNG cargoes from the PNG project.
Rising demand for LNG in China and other growing Asian economies is expected to soak up existing and new production from the PNG development. ExxonMobil is currently looking for more buyers of the project. The largest publicly-traded energy company holds 33.2% interest in the project, partnered by Oil Search (29%), Papua New Guinea state-run Kumul Petroleum (16.8%), Santos (13.5%) of Australia, JX Nippon (4.7%) and Mineral Resources Development Company (2.8%).
Price Performance
Headquartered in Irving, TX, ExxonMobil is involved in upstream, midstream and downstream activities. Over the past year, the stock has gained 2% compared with the 19.7% collective rally of the industry.
Zacks Rank and a Stock to Consider
Currently, ExxonMobil carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Investors interested in the Energy sector can opt for a better-ranked stock like ConocoPhillips (COP - Free Report) , which sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Houston, TX-based ConocoPhillips is an exploration and production company. The company’s top line for 2018 is anticipated to improve 18.9% year over year. In the last four reported quarters, the company recorded an average positive earnings surprise of 226.9%.
