Pembina Pipeline Corp. has told a federal appeals court that it is pausing development of the proposed Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal and related Pacific Connector pipeline to assess the impact of recent regulatory setbacks.

FERC dealt a blow this week to the proposed Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal by denying a petition filed last year by the sponsors to waive Oregon’s regulatory authority.

The leadership team for the proposed Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility planned in Coos Bay, OR, and related Pacific Connector transmission pipeline has been changed, according to Calgary-based Pembina Pipeline Corp. Senior Vice President Stu Taylor, in charge of marketing, new ventures and corporate development, assumed leadership from former CEO Elizabeth Spomer. Pembina spokesman Michael Hinrichs said the company remains “committed to and continues to make progress on Jordan Cove and the 232-mile Pacific Connector connecting transmission pipeline in southern Oregon. We continue to make progress on numerous other federal, state and local permitting requirements.” A final investment decision is expected once regulatory and environmental approvals are completed.
