US oil firm Chevron has signed $60bn (£36bn) worth of deals to supply natural gas to Japan and South Korea from its Gorgon project in Australia.
Chevron Australia said it would supply Osaka Gas with 1.375 million tonnes of natural gas a year over 25 years.
Tokyo Gas would receive 1.1 million tonnes and South Korea’s GS Caltex would get 0.5 million tonnes.
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd described the deals as a “shot in the arm” for the Australian economy.
Last month, PetroChina signed a deal to buy $50bn worth of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Gorgon – the largest trade deal in Australia’s history.
Separately, India’s Petronet signed a $25m deal.

Mr Rudd said the latest deals “will deliver in the order of A$70bn worth of exports to Australia over the next 25 years”.
He told parliament it had been a “great month” for Australia’s LNG export industry.
“These are massive projects that will generate economic growth, income, jobs and prosperity for the nation for decades to come.”
The yet-to-be-developed Gorgon gas field on Barrow Island off western Australia is expected to generate 6,000 jobs and make Australia a leading LNG supplier in the region.
But the A$50bn ($42bn; £25.6bn) project has met opposition from environmentalists as Barrow Island is home to a number of endangered, rare and endemic species.
Chevron and its partners in the project, Royal Dutch Shell and Exxon Mobil, are expected to give the go ahead for production in the coming weeks.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
