Chevron concludes PNG contract with Allgas

BRISBANE, July 27 (Reuters) - Chevron Corp unit Chevron Services Australia said on Tuesday it had finalised negotiations to sell up to 130 petajoules of gas to Allgas from the A$5.5 billion Papua New Guinea to Gladstone gas pipeline.

Allgas, owned by the Queensland state government, was acting as aggregator for likely gas users Tarong Energy, Comalco Ltd , Sithe Energies, and CS Energy. Sithe is majority owned by Vivendi .

The contract is for a 20 year term.

''This contact alone is very close to the foundation volumes required to underpin the development of the PNG gas project,'' said Chevron's project director John Powell.

Chevron is operator of the project, which will take gas from the Kutubu and Gobe fields in the Southern Highlands of PNG.

Chevron said once the contract had been approved by the boards of each company, the project would ''move into front end engineering and in parallel final approval and finance activities.'' This was expected to take about 12 months.

Comalco, which is considering building an alumina refinery in Gladstone or Sarawak, Malaysia, was considering taking about 20 petajoules, Chevron said.
