Russian state gas company Gazprom and Dutch gas grid operator Gasunie have signed an agreement to cooperate on the small-scale liquefied natural gas (LNGLF) (LNG) market in Europe, Gazprom said in a statement on Thursday.
Both companies may cooperate on joint projects for the construction of LNG-receiving terminals, LNG filling stations and other infrastructure facilities, Gazprom, the world's top gas producer, added.
In particular, they discussed a possible joint pilot project for the construction of a small LNG-receiving terminal in northwest Europe, it said.
Gazprom provided no further details on the cost or volume of possible future projects.
