Santos has entered into a second contract to supply natural gas to Western Australian conglomerate Wesfarmers.

Under the agreement, Santos is set to supply Wesfarmers Chemicals, Energy & Fertilisers with up to 34 petajoules of gas over a four-year period.

The contract follows a recent agreement between the two companies for the supply of 28 petajoules of gas over three years.

Santos executive vice-president, marketing and trading, Philil Byrne said the contract highlighted the company’s value as a domestic gas producer in WA.

“We produce only domestic gas in WA and it’s a business we are keen to grow, delivering affordable and reliable energy to local businesses and industry,” he said.

“This contract also strengthens our relationship with WesCEF and highlights the quality of our client base.”

Santos has offshore gas fields in the Carnarvon Basin and gas processing plants at Devil Creek and on Varanus Island.
