Nov 5 (Reuters) - Canadian oil and gas company Pembina

Pipeline ( PBA ) said on Wednesday it will supply 1.0 million

tons per annum of liquefied natural gas to Malaysia's PETRONAS

for 20 years from its Cedar LNG project.

The deal marks a key milestone for the $4 billion Cedar LNG

project and strengthens Canada's push to become a global LNG

supplier to Asia.

The company said it will give PETRONAS access to an

additional natural gas export outlet for its Canadian upstream

investment, while providing Pembina with a stable, long-term

revenue stream.

Cedar, a joint venture between the Indigenous community

Haisla First Nation and Pembina, would produce 3.3 million tons

per annum after completion in 2028.

Canada is the world's sixth-largest natural gas producer,

but has been slow in building a strong LNG export industry

compared to other major gas-producing nations.
