Sempra Infrastructure Secures 20-Year LNG Supply Deal with Petrobras
By MGN Editorial•September 14, 2026 at 11:20 PM
Sempra Infrastructure has signed a long-term liquefied natural gas sales and purchase agreement with Brazilian energy giant Petrobras, committing approximately 0.8 million tonnes per annum over a 20-year term.
## Sempra Infrastructure Secures 20-Year LNG Supply Deal with Petrobras
Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of NYSE-listed Sempra (SRE), has announced a landmark 20-year sales and purchase agreement (SPA) with Petrobras for the supply of liquefied natural gas, the company confirmed in a statement released on 14 September 2026.
Under the terms of the agreement, Sempra Infrastructure will supply approximately **0.8 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa)** of LNG to the Brazilian state-controlled energy company, representing a significant long-term offtake commitment that underscores continued global demand for US-sourced LNG.
### Strategic Significance
The deal adds to Sempra Infrastructure's growing portfolio of long-term LNG supply agreements and reinforces the company's position as a key player in the North American LNG export sector. Long-term SPAs of this nature are critical to securing project financing and de-risking LNG infrastructure development, making this agreement strategically important for Sempra's broader infrastructure ambitions.
For Petrobras, the agreement provides a reliable, long-term source of LNG supply to support Brazil's evolving energy mix. Brazil has increasingly looked to natural gas as a transition fuel to complement its substantial renewable energy capacity, and securing stable import volumes over a 20-year horizon reflects that strategic priority.
### Market Context
The agreement comes amid sustained global appetite for long-term LNG contracts, as buyers across Asia, Europe, and Latin America seek supply security in the wake of energy market volatility experienced in recent years. US LNG exporters have been among the primary beneficiaries of this trend, with multiple developers advancing projects along the Gulf Coast.
Sempra Infrastructure's LNG development activities are centred on its Port Arthur LNG and ECA LNG projects, positioning the company to fulfil long-term supply commitments of this kind as additional liquefaction capacity comes online.
According to the PR Newswire announcement, further details of the agreement's commercial terms were not disclosed at the time of publication.
### Outlook
This SPA is likely to be viewed positively by project finance markets, as anchor offtake agreements from creditworthy counterparties such as Petrobras are a prerequisite for advancing major LNG export infrastructure. Industry observers will be watching closely for further announcements regarding associated project milestones in the months ahead.
