Backers

The backers of the Bradwood Landing liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, NorthernStar Natural Gas Corp., filed Thursday in the Oregon Court of Appeals, challenging a decision earlier in April by the Oregon Land-Use Board of Appeals (LUBA). NorthernStar is concerned about two issues that were remanded back to the local county commission where it is seeking to develop its LNG receiving facility.

Construction has begun on the Fayetteville Express Pipeline, project backers said Monday. The pipeline is a 50/50 joint venture of Energy Transfer Partners LP and Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP.

Backers of the proposed Oregon-based Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas (LNG) project are confident they will have all the necessary federal, state and local approvals by late 2010 to begin construction of their terminal and connecting interstate gas pipeline.

Just days after FERC approved the mammoth pipeline project, backers of the Midcontinent Express Pipeline, which would give shale producers in Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma access to southern and eastern markets, last Tuesday announced that they had completed a successful binding open season for a 300,000 Dth/d expansion of a portion of the planned system.

Having launched a nonbinding open season in early June, the backers of the proposed Tricor Ten Section Hub LLC underground natural gas storage project in California filed an application with FERC Tuesday, seeking a certificate for their project by February. They seek to operate a high-deliverability, multi-cycle storage facility in Kern County, 10 miles southwest of Bakersfield.

Backers for the first of three proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals in Oregon to get a conditioned FERC approval, Bradwood Landing, are keeping a close eye on a Delaware LNG decision in March by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that rejected a challenge to a similar conditioned approval of the Crown Landing LLC LNG project. Whether it is having any effect on Oregon officials is not clear.
