KUALA LUMPUR: Sumatec Resources Bhd's partner CaspiOilGas LLP (COG) has inked a pre-sale gas agreement to sell gas to NIPIneftegas Consortium in Kazakhstan over 15 years.

Sumatec said on Monday COG would be selling 6.2 billion cubic metres of gas or 36.5 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) at market gas price.

NIPI led Consortium will convert the feed gas into petroleum products through a proprietary gas to liquid (GTL) technology.

It said NIPI, which has its headquarters in Aktau, had invested in a wide range of technical and commercial services for the development of onshore and offshore oil and gas fields.

The proposed capital expenditure for the gas utilisation plan which is tied to the gas development production agreement between Sumatec and COG will start at US$60mil.

The total capex of the plant over the period to bring it to full capacity will be US$360mil. 

The first phase of the plant operation is expected to start in 2019.
