QatarEnergy has signed a long-term sales and purchase agreement (SPA) for up to 15 years with Uniper Global Commodities SE (Uniper) for the supply of 70mn cubic feet per year of helium from its facilities in Ras Laffan, starting in September 2025.
This agreement marks QatarEnergy’s first direct relationship with Uniper, who has a strong history in providing bulk wholesale helium to customers around the world.
HE the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, Saad Sherida al-Kaabi, who is also the President and CEO of QatarEnergy, welcomed the signing of the agreement and said: “We are pleased to welcome Uniper into our growing portfolio of trusted off-takers, with a proven track record in the helium industry.”
Minister Al-Kaabi added: “QatarEnergy looks forward to work with Uniper on supporting the expansive needs of new industries dependent on reliable helium from trusted sources like Qatar.”
Helium plays a pivotal role in a wide range of advanced technologies and essential industrial applications, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, semiconductors, fiber optics, space exploration, deep sea diving, specialised welding, and other specialised applications.
