Bracewell & Giuliani LLP is representing Centrica, a British gas owner, in an agreement with U.S.-based energy company Cheniere Energy Partners to buy 1.75 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) per year. The 20-year agreement with Cheniere Energy Partners would allow Centrica to export enough LNG from the U.S. to supply 1.8 million British homes each year.
Centrica will import gas from Cheniere’s Sabine Pass liquefaction plant in Louisiana, with shipments to start in September 2018. Centrica becomes the latest of six customers signed up by Cheniere for LNG exports from Sabine Pass.
Bracewell attorneys working on the transaction include:
Partners: Robert G. Burns, Kevin A. Ewing, Mark K. Lewis, Elizabeth L. McGinley, Robin J. Miles
Associates: Jeris D. Brunette, George D. Fatula, Alexander W. Jones, Kaleb Lockwood
