Sempra Energy LNG announced its third proposed North American liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal Wednesday. The $600 million project would provide 1.5 Bcf/d of gas supply in Port Arthur, TX, and would feature three storage tanks each with a capacity of 160,000 cubic meters. It is the seventh proposed LNG terminal along the Gulf Coast of Texas.

Both California and Mexico are committed to giving proponents of liquefied natural gas (LNG) import projects a chance to make their cases for new receiving terminals, but it is still unclear how many and where (on-land or offshore) those facilities will be built, according to government energy officials who spoke this week at a conference in Long Beach, CA.

Following on the heels of its merger with El Paso Corp.’s GulfTerra Energy Partners LLP last month, Enterprise Products Partners LP announced last week it is restructuring its board of directors so that most of the general partner’s directors are independent. Enterprise merged with GulfTerra, El Paso Corp.’s energy partnership, in mid-December (see Daily GPI, Dec. 16, 2003).

Four years ago Cheniere Energy announced plans for four liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminals along the Gulf Coast: one at Sabine Pass, one at Corpus Christi, another in Freeport, TX, and the last at Brownsville. Industry experts dismissed the plans of the tiny, virtually unknown company as premature, maybe even a little bit nuts. A lot has changed since then.
