A Sempra Energy affiliate has launched a nonbinding open season to gauge interest in natural gas storage capacity that would feed export terminals on the Gulf Coast. 

Sempra LNG launched the open season Tuesday for its proposed Hackberry Gas Storage project in Hackberry, LA. The facility would be on a 160-acre parcel and would include four storage caverns and associated infrastructure.

The project would support the feed gas supply needs of Sempra’s 15 million metric tons/year (mmty) Cameron liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal, also located in Hackberry, and the 13.5 mmty Port Arthur LNG export terminal proposed for Southeast Texas.
