China gets Aus gas dirt cheap, J Howard signed it away...

A landmark gas contract with China stands to cost Australia's biggest natural resources project up to A$20 billion (US$14.3 billion) in lost sales due to contractual terms that fail to account for the increase in oil prices to record levels, the Australian Financial Review reported Friday.
The 25-year gas contract between China National Offshore Oil Co. and the North West Shelf Venture was struck at prices that are half those enjoyed by project operator Woodside Petroleum on other major contracts, the paper said.

The 2002 liquefied natural gas contract doesn't contain clauses allowing the six North West Shelf partners to alter prices in line with changes in the oil price, potentially costing A$3.5 billion (US$2.5 billion) in lost revenue over the next six years alone, it adds.
