A Cheniere Energy Inc. unit is seeking to add a 5.2 mile interstate pipeline to its pre-filing application with federal regulators for a massive expansion at Sabine Pass LNG in Louisiana.

In February, Cheniere pre-filed plans with FERC to add up to 20 million metric tons/year (mmty) to its southwest Louisiana liquefaction facility.

The Sabine Crossing pipeline outlined in Cheniere’s most recent filing would link the Sabine Pass export terminal with Jefferson County, TX, via a 48-inch diameter connection that would run under the Sabine-Neches Waterway. The new system would connect to “interstate and/or intrastate pipelines to be developed by others in the future,” according to the filing.
