Cove

Defending its 2014 approval of Dominion Cove Point LNG Liquefaction Project’s export terminal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit this week, FERC roundly dismissed a claim from several conservation groups that its environmental assessment did not properly consider how the project could lead to increases in unconventional natural gas drilling.

The Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project and connecting pipeline in Oregon is close to both getting a final FERC approval and to announcing an initial agreement with an anchor shipper of western Canadian and U.S. Rockies gas supplies to Asia, the CEO for the project said.

Despite regulatory delays, Calgary-based Veresen Inc. sees its vision for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project along the south-central coast of Oregon coming together, providing an outlet to Asian markets for western Canadian and U.S. Rockies natural gas, according to a presentation Wednesday at the TD Securities Calgary Energy Conference.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has refused to halt construction now underway at the Dominion Cove Point liquefied natural gas export facility in southern Maryland because opponents have offered no "strongly compelling" reasons for a stay, a three-judge panel concluded.

Because of a locally backed alternative route to a portion of the proposed connecting transmission pipeline, FERC has delayed by three months the scheduled release of the final environmental impact statement (EIS) on the Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project along the south-central Oregon coast at Coos Bay. A final EIS is now set for Sept. 30 instead of the previous June 15 deadline.

The Canadian-based backer of the proposed Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal and Pacific Connector transmission pipeline tying it to the western gas grid said on Friday that FERC has delayed until June the date for completing the project’s draft environmental impact statement (DEIS). In an environment of depressed global oil prices the delay may prove to be even more problematic.
