Malaysian state oil and gas company Petronas announced on Tuesday that it’s selling a 15% stake in Progress Energy’s LNG reserves in British Columbia to Asia’s largest oil refiner, China Petrochemical Corp. (also known as Sinopec Group).

Sinopec is the fourth in a consortium of LNG buyers interested in Petronas’ Canadian LNG project. The company is expected to offtake 1.8 million tons of liquefied natural gas per year for a minimum of 20 years. The other companies include Japex Montney Ltd., PetroleumBrunei, and Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. Petronas retains a 62% stake in the natural gas project.
