FERC on Monday proposed a rule to require potential developers of new liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminals and associated facilities to initiate pre-filing procedures at least six months before filing a formal application with the agency. The proposed rule also would apply to companies seeking to expand their existing LNG facilities, if FERC’s director of Office of Energy Projects deems it necessary.

Questar said Friday it was unable to deliver to TransColorado at their Greasewood interconnect due to mechanical problems associated with the processing facility at this location. The problems were expected to be corrected by Monday, Questar said, but it was not accepting Greasewood nominations for the gas days of Saturday and Sunday. “Questar is doing everything possible to have this delivery available for the Southern System line work” that begins Monday (see Daily GPI, Aug. 10), the pipeline said.

FERC is scheduled to act on three major liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal projects — one in the Gulf Coast and two in the Northeast — and associated pipeline facilities at Chairman Pat Wood’s final agency meeting on Thursday.

FERC last Wednesday approved ExxonMobil Corp. affiliates’ Vista del Sol liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal and associated pipeline facilities near Corpus Christi, TX.

Occidental Petroleum’s proposed Ingleside, TX, LNG terminal and associated San Patricio Pipeline were granted a favorable final environmental impact statement (FEIS) on Friday by FERC. The Commission said the 1 Bcf/d terminal, which would be located near Occidental’s chemical plant on Corpus Christi Bay, would have limited adverse impact on the environment if certain recommended mitigating measures are taken by the company.

FERC on Friday gave final environmental clearance to ExxonMobil Corp’s proposed Golden Pass LNG liquefied natural gas (LNG)) terminal and associated pipeline facilities along the Gulf Coast, saying the multi-million-dollar project would meet federal safety standards and have limited adverse environmental impacts.
