(Reuters) - Oil and gas producer Woodside Petroleum Ltd <WPL.AX> said on Tuesday it has signed an agreement to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) to German utility Uniper SE <UN01.DE> for 13 years starting 2021.

Under the agreement, Woodside said it would initially supply up to 0.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of LNG, which could increase to 1 Mtpa from 2025.

However, supply from 2025 remains conditional upon a final investment decision related to the company's Scarborough project off northwestern Australia.

Woodside is looking to develop Scarborough to feed a new 5 Mtpa production unit, called a train, at its Pluto LNG plant in Western Australia.

The finalisation of the deal follows Woodside's announcement in September, when the two companies signed an initial agreement for LNG supply.
