SEFE becomes Argentina’s first long-term LNG offtake partner
Eight-year agreement to supply SEFE with two mtpa from 2027
Volumes represent one third of Southern Energy’s projected annual LNG output
[Berlin, Germany; 4 March 2026] – SEFE Securing Energy for Europe and Argentina’s Southern Energy S.A. (SESA) have entered a Sales and Purchase Agreement for an eight-year LNG supply partnership. Under the agreement, SEFE will purchase two million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG on a free on board (FOB) basis, with deliveries scheduled to begin in late 2027. The Sales and Purchase Agreement follows the Heads of Agreement concluded in Argentina last year and marks the country’s first long-term LNG export contract.
Rodolfo Freyre, Chairman of SESA, added: “The agreement with SEFE is significant for two key reasons: on the one hand, it confirms Argentina’s positioning as a new and strategic international LNG supplier, contributing to the diversification of global supply sources; on the other hand, it represents a key contribution to strengthening Europe’s energy security. I would like to thank the SEFE team and all SESA partners, whose contribution was essential to achieving this milestone.”
