G2 LNG plans to expand the site of its proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Cameron Parish, LA, by 500 acres to allow it to potentially export petrochemicals besides LNG.

Houston-based Tellurian Inc.’s Driftwood LNG liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal proposed for Louisiana has received authorization from the U.S. Department of Energy to export LNG) to free trade agreement (FTA) nations. Tellurian has also submitted an application to export LNG to non-FTA nations and expects to file its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission application for the project later this quarter. Driftwood LNG is a proposed 26 million tonne per annum LNG export facility near Lake Charles, LA. Tellurian expects to begin construction in 2018 and deliver first LNG in 2022, with full operations in 2025.

Elba Liquefaction Co. LLC and Southern LNG Co. LLC, both units of Kinder Morgan Inc., haveasked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for permission to begin installing by March 10 “Movable Modular Liquefaction System” (MMLS) units at their liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction and export project at the existing Elba Island LNGterminal near Savannah, GA. The Commissionapproved the project last June. Last December the projectreceived non-free trade agreement (FTA) country export approval. The project is supported by a 20-year contract with Royal Dutch Shell plc. The terminal ultimately will have the capability to both export and import LNG. FTA exports have also been previously authorized by the U.S. Department of Energy. “MMLS combines Shell’s tradition of innovation and technology advances with design flexibility that enables construction within the existing site at Elba Island plant,” the companies said on the project’s webpage.

The United States’ presence in the expected near-term strengthening of the global liquefied natural gas (LNG) market and Europe’s key role on the marginal demand side are likely to be game-changers over the next five years, according to a report released Monday by Societe Generale research analysts.

Canadian natural gas producers have been granted a liquid byproduct growth entitlement with a lifespan of up to a quarter-century.

FERC on Wednesday authorized the addition of liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction and export facilities, as well as related pipeline modifications, at the existing Golden Pass Products LLC import terminal near Sabine Pass, TX.

Venture Global LNG said Wednesday it will proceed with construction of its proposed $8.5 billion liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal in Plaquemines Parish, LA.

Bear Head LNG is proposing a 1,600-kilometer (1,000-mile) pipeline to bring Western Canadian natural gas to the Maritimes for transformation into liquefied natural gas (LNG) that would make the short ocean hop to European markets. Management is optimistic about the project, but some experts question whether it is feasible, considering the outlook for natural gas prices.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) last week granted non-free trade agreement (FTA) liquefied natural gas (LNG) export authority for the Magnolia LNG project, which is planned for Lake Charles, LA.
