Golar LNG Secures $8B Earnings Backlog with 20-Year Argentina FLNG Deal

Golar LNG announced a 20-year charter agreement with Southern Energy S.A. for its 3.5 MTPA MKII FLNG, providing an estimated $8 billion in net earnings backlog and securing a 30-year LNG export permit. This solidifies a major long-term revenue stream for the company, reshaping its investment narrative and future growth profile. The deal supports sustained global LNG demand and reinforces near-term cash flow visibility. However, investors should be aware of the risk of project execution and sector overcapacity.
