Cameron

Sempra Energy is doing its own due diligence as the joint venture (JV) it helped fashion to build liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities at its Cameron, LA, terminal site is grappling with construction delays that the contractor now estimates will push back the facility’s start to mid-2018, Sempra’s senior executives said Tuesday on a year-end earnings conference call.

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) on Thursday were responding to a release of natural gas and condensate from a pipeline at West Cameron 165 in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), 32 miles southwest of Cameron, LA. A helicopter pilot flying over the site reported an incident to USCG at about 2:00 p.m. CST Wednesday. The pipeline is operated by Kinetica Partners LLC, BSEE said. “There were no platform personnel affected by the leak and at the time of the report, the sheen was about one mile across and 10 miles long,” BSEE said. “The operator estimated the spill volume to be roughly 752 gallons, or 17.9 bbl, at that time.”

FERC on Thursday approved Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. LLC’s (TGP) Southwest Louisiana Supply Project, which will provide an additional 295,000 Dth/d of firm transportation service on the pipeline’s 800 Line for delivery to an existing interconnection with Cameron Interstate Pipeline LLC in Cameron Parish, LA.

Rain and flooding in the Louisiana Gulf Coast have caused what is estimated to be a six-month delay in the completion of the three liquefaction trains under construction at Sempra Energy’s Cameron (LA) liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal, Sempra CEO Debra Reed said during a 3Q2016 earnings conference call Wednesday.

FERC staff has issued a favorable environmental assessment (EA) for Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. LLC’s (TGP) Southwest Louisiana Supply Project, which would provide transportation from various supply basins in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Louisiana to Cameron Interstate Pipeline, which connects directly to the Cameron LNG Terminal in Louisiana, now under construction.

The oil and gas industry has finally “reached the bottom” of the downcycle, Schlumberger Ltd. CEO Paal Kibsgaard told investors Friday during the international oilfield services (OFS) giant’s 2Q2016 earnings call.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has authorized additional non-free trade agreement exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Sempra Energy’s Cameron LNG terminal, whose first phase is under construction in Louisiana.

San Diego-based Sempra Energy got the organic boost it has been coveting for its gas portfolio when FERC late last week authorized the company’s proposed expansion of its Cameron liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project in Louisiana, the first phase of which is more than 40% complete.
