West LNG Projects Tread Water; GHG Reviewed
It’s not easy being green for liquefied natural gas (LNG) project developers along Southern California’s shores as the first West Coast LNG facility prepares to open next quarter in North Baja California, Mexico, and proposals move along in Oregon. Three California offshore proposals have been diverted to examine their individual global climate change impacts, and a fourth onshore site in Long Beach awaits a critical state court hearing March 17 to try to force local officials to restart a final environmental review process that was abruptly stopped a year ago.

Colorado Judge Says CBM Production Requires Water Well Permit
A Colorado state court judge has ruled against the state engineer’s office for the first time, saying that coalbed methane (CBM) developers who “divert” water as part of the natural gas production process are required to get a water permit from the engineer’s office in the same way that other water users do.

Sempra: Liquefaction Problems to Delay Texas LNG Plans by 1-2 Years
More time will be needed for the global liquefied natural gas (LNG) developers to work out complex economic, technical and marketing details involved in building added liquefaction capacity, and thus, plans for a new LNG receiving terminal at Port Arthur, TX, remain on hold, according to senior officials at San Diego-based Sempra Energy. They spoke Wednesday on a first quarter earnings conference call with the financial community, reporting earnings that were robust, but down over a record quarter a year earlier because of accounting adjustments related to natural gas trading activities.
