Vitol says it has agreed a multi-year LNG supply agreement with Russian energy company Gazprom.

The Dutch-based oil trader said it signed an agreement to secure around 300,000 tons of LNG per year starting in 2018.

Pablo Galante Escobar, the head of LNG markets for Vitol, said the agreement with Gazprom, the world’s largest single producer of natural gas, is a testament of momentum.
