Japan's JERA imports first LNG cargo shipped from Chevron's Wheatstone site

The tanker “Asia Venture,” carrying about 70,000 t of LNG, arrived on Sunday at Tokyo Electric Power’s Futtsu LNG terminal in Chiba prefecture on Tokyo Bay, said a spokesman for JERA, the world’s biggest LNG buyer, on Monday.
Chevron said last month that the Wheatstone LNG project, which started production in early October, shipped its first cargo to JERA.
JERA has contracts to buy 5.2 MMtpy of LNG from the Wheatstone project.
Wheatstone has two units, which at full capacity will supply 8.9 MMmt of LNG a year to customers in Asia. After the second train starts up in 2018, JERA will receive around six LNG cargoes per month from the project, a company official said.
