The loan, which marks further diversification in BG's funding, is designed to support the export of US services and equipment to Curtis.
The US Ex-Im loan is the latest source of funding secured via BG's active treasury program, which helps underpin the delivery of its key growth projects.
BG agreed to a $3 billion syndicated facility last month, taking the total of undrawn, committed bank-borrowing facilities to $US5.2 billion. In September, it reached an agreement with Japan Bank of International Cooperation aimed at supporting the long-term supply of LNG to Japan.
In addition, since October 2011, $US7.7 billion has been raised from capital markets, including the successful issuance of $US2.1 billion in hybrid bonds.
BG has also reached an initial agreement with the Brazilian Development Bank for up to $US1.8 billion of funding and signed a $US500 million credit agreement with Export Development Canada.
