Equinor signed a long-term LNG supply agreement with Thailand's PTT Trading to deepen its Asia-LNG reach; volume was not disclosed.

Equinor already produces LNG at the Hammerfest plant in northern Norway and holds long-term LNG contracts with Cheniere Energy, including a Sabine Pass cargo shipped in August. The arrangement is part of a broader strategy to diversify its LNG portfolio through long-term supply agreements and to scale operations toward 2030, while US supply is seen as critical to meeting European and Asian demand.
