SEOUL, March 23 (Reuters) - Three of Asia's top buyers of liquefied natural gas (LNG) have agreed to work together to secure more flexible contracts when buying the commodity.
Korea Gas Corp (KOGAS) said in a statement on Thursday that it had signed a memorandum of understanding in mid-March with Japan's Jera and China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC) to exchange information and "cooperate in the joint procurement of LNG".
