Still seeking the commitments it will need to reach a final investment decision (FID) on its proposed Driftwood liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project, Tellurian Inc. said it has extended negotiations with prospective buyer Petronet LNG Limited of India.

President Trump and India’s Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi vowed Wednesday to strengthen a comprehensive global strategic partnership between their countries, including growing links in trade and investment in hydrocarbons such as liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Tellurian Inc. over the weekend took another step toward sanctioning its massive natural gas export project on the Gulf Coast with a proposed agreement to sell a significant portion of capacity to India’s state-owned Petronet LNG Ltd.

H-Energy India Group said on Monday subsidiary East Coast Private Ltd. has signed a port services agreement with Kakinada Seaports Ltd. to set up a liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification and reloading terminal on India’s east coast.

Indian state-owned Bharat Petroleum Corp. Ltd. (BPCL) said Monday that it is planning to invest around $240 million to build a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the deepwater port at Krishnapatnam on the east coast.

South Asian liquefied natural gas (LNG) markets stand to benefit from the recent shift to a globally oversupplied and lower-priced environment that has resulted from a mild winter and recent supply additions, particularly in the United States.

In a development that could put even more pressure on domestic natural gas pipeline projects, the Department of Commerce said it has preliminarily determined that Canada, China, Greece, India, South Korea and Turkey have been selling large diameter welded pipe at less than fair value in the United States.
