million tons of liquid natural gas a year from Qatar.
The agreement signed in Beijing will supply liquid gas from the Qatargas 4 project in Qatar, which is still under development, to PetroChina's gas terminal, Shell said in a statement.
Qatar, the world's largest exporter of liquid natural gas, is set to epand production to 77 million tons per year by 2010. Chinese companies already have long-term supply agreements with projects in Australia, Indonesia and Malaysia, the announcement said.
The Qatargas 4 is a partnership between Qatar Petroleum, which owns 70 percent, and Shell, which owns the remainder.
