LOS ANGELES, Apr. 17 -- Russia's state-owned OAO Gazprom has delivered its first shipment of LNG to the UK—140,000 cu m purchased from Gaz de France and delivered to BP PLC.
It was the largest LNG shipment to reach the UK's Isle of Grain terminal in north Kent, which has the capacity to receive and process up to 3.3 million tonnes/year of LNG.
A joint venture of BP and Algeria's state-run Sonatrach has been formed to market LNG from the Isle of Grain terminal, which is expected to provide 5% of the UK's supply needs.
