The American Gas Association’s (AGA) Paula Gant has been tapped to to join the Office of Fossil Energy at the Department of Energy (DOE), effective Sept. 9.

It will be some years before tanker loads of liquefied natural gas (LNG) steam out of U.S. ports, but shale gas is already having an impact on world markets “because of all the LNG the U.S. is not importing,” U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said Monday.

Backers of liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects have been clamoring for permits at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), but they and export opponents have also been begging for clarity on the approval process. They should have it, said the Brookings Institution.

Lake Charles Exports LLC (Lake Charles) Wednesday became the third prospective liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal tapped by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to export domestic natural gas worldwide, bringing authorized export volumes to 5.6 Bcf/d.

It will be up to risk-taking entrepreneurs –and not Congress– who will lead the way for the oil and natural gas industry, a former U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) official said Wednesday in Denver.

Lake Charles Exports LLC is conditionally authorized to export at a rate of up to 2 Bcf/d, bringing the potential total U.S. LNG exports to 5.6 Bcf/d.
