As per the agreements, TEPCO will purchase an additional 0.4 million tons per annum (MTPA) of LNG from the Wheatstone Project for up to 20 years.
In addition TEPCO, through a related company, will acquire a 10% participating interest in the Wheatstone field licenses from Chevron and an 8% percent interest in the Wheatstone natural gas processing facilities.
