South Hook Gas

What We Do

South Hook Gas owns and manages 100% of the regasification capacity of the South Hook LNG Terminal (SHLNG).

Since commencing operations in 2009 our core business is to import LNG from QatarEnergy LNG N(2) and sell it to ExxonMobil Gas Marketing Europe.

The company has a 25-year LNG supply agreement with QatarEnergy LNG N(2), a 25-year sales agreement with ExxonMobil Gas Marketing Europe and a 25-year service agreement with SHLNG to provide regasification services on our behalf.

In 2025 SHG agreed another 25-year service agreement with SHLNG for an incremental 162.5 GWh/d of daily regasification capacity increasing our total daily regasification capacity with SHLNG from 650 GWh/d to 812.5 GWh/d subject to available pipeline capacity.

When there is spare capacity at the Terminal, this is marketed by South Hook Gas so that other companies can potentially bring in additional LNG cargoes to the UK.
