Japan’s Mitsubishi and Mitsui have become the foundation customers at Sempra Energy’s US export project at Cameron LNG.

The companies singed commercial development agreements with Sempra that pave the way for negotiations on a pair of 4 million tonnes per annum, 20-year tolling deals.

Under the deals, the Japanese outfits will procure gas and market LNG to utility customers abroad, leaving Sempra as the facility’s operator.
