The Hague-based LNG giant Shell has reportedly bagged a long-term deal to provide the chilled fuel for a power plant being built by the Chinese Sinolam LNG in Colon, Panama.

Shell is expected to start deliveries to the 441-megawatt power plant in 2020 and continue over a 15-year period.

Advisors on the agreement told Reuters the LNG-to-power project is worth around $900 million and it could require around 400,000 tons of the chilled fuel annually.

Sinolam LNG, a unit of Shanghai Gorgeous, is also building an LNG import facility that will accommodate a floating storage unit.

Commercial advisor for Sinolam LNG on the deal was the energy consultancy Featherwood capital while the legal advice has been provided by Hogan Lovells.
