NextDecade Corporation (NextDecade) (NASDAQ: NEXT) announced today that it has executed a 20-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with a subsidiary of Aramco for offtake from Train 4 at the Rio Grande LNG Facility.
Under the terms of the SPA, the Aramco subsidiary will purchase 1.2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG for 20 years on a free on board basis, at a price indexed to Henry Hub, subject to a positive Final Investment Decision (FID) on Train 4.
