AGL Resources initiated a non-binding open season April 30 for a proposed high- deliverability natural gas storage facility in the Spindletop salt dome in Beaumont, TX. The open season for 12 Bcf of working capacity will extend through 5 p.m. CDT May 18. Golden Triangle Storage, a wholly owned subsidiary of AGL Resources, proposes to develop a gas storage facility consisting of two salt-dome storage caverns. The first 6 Bcf cavern is scheduled for full commercial operation in spring 2011, with the second 6 Bcf cavern scheduled to be in operation in 2013. Located at a highly liquid market point, Golden Triangle Storage will interconnect with six intrastate/interstate pipelines serving diverse markets with counter-seasonal demand. The project is located near natural gas supplies, including East Texas gas fields, offshore deep water wells and gas imported through area liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals. Prospective customers should contact Ed Gottlob at (832) 397-1798 or Laura McGuire Heckman at (832) 397-8503. Additional information, including bid procedures and a bid form, is available at www.goldentrianglestorage-texas.com/

U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports were up 41% in April compared with a year ago and remain on track to grow 60% or more in 2007, a sign that the global LNG market “may be coming of age,” Lehman Brothers analyst Thomas Driscoll said. He noted that the effect on gas prices, however, is decidedly bearish.
