BP Accuses Venture Global of Breaching Contract by Selling Factory Loads in the U.S. for Spot Deals Instead of Long-Term Agreements. Letter Sent to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Monday.

Venture Global LNG is facing a dispute with BP Plc over liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes, causing turbulence in the super-cooled fuel market. The London-based supermajor accuses Venture Global of breaching its contract by selling loads from its Calcasieu Pass facility in Louisiana through spot deals instead of supplying signed customers for long-term agreements. Venture Global began operations at the plant in March 2022 but has not been sending gas to BP and other energy giants that agreed to 10-year or longer deals, stating that the contracts are not yet in effect because the facility is still in commissioning phase.

This dispute between BP Plc and Venture Global is affecting the super-cooled fuel market, with BP accusing the company of breaching its contract and selling cargoes on the spot market, where prices are significantly higher. Shipping delays have emerged as a growing point of contention between Venture Global, the developer of major U.S. LNG export terminals, and some of the largest energy companies in the world. This impasse occurs at a crucial moment, with Europe eager for more fuel as winter approaches and the U.S. poised to become the world’s largest LNG exporter. Customers including BP, Shell Plc, and Repsol SA have initiated arbitration proceedings over the contract delay.
