Despite regulatory delays, Calgary-based Veresen Inc. sees its vision for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project along the south-central coast of Oregon coming together, providing an outlet to Asian markets for western Canadian and U.S. Rockies natural gas, according to a presentation Wednesday at the TD Securities Calgary Energy Conference.

The Canadian-based backer of the proposed Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal and Pacific Connector transmission pipeline tying it to the western gas grid said on Friday that FERC has delayed until June the date for completing the project’s draft environmental impact statement (DEIS). In an environment of depressed global oil prices the delay may prove to be even more problematic.

As news out of British Columbia ebbs and flows on the development of a series of liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects, the proponents of two separate LNG export projects in Oregon continue to push forward on all fronts — permitting and lining up buyers and sellers for their proposed export terminals.

Canada’s National Energy Board (NEB) has green-lighted export of Canadian gas to the United States for liquefaction and further export to global markets via the planned Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal on Coos Bay in Oregon.

Skeptics think Canadian liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to Asia face some significant hurdles, and two similar projects in Oregon don’t have a completely uncluttered path to Far East markets either, even if they both manage to get FERC and other federal government approvals.

A lot of under-used natural gas pipeline capacity from supply sources on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border is a key competitive advantage for two proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects in Oregon, according to backers of the Jordan Cove and Oregon LNG projects.

As part of a federal district court lawsuit, backers of the FERC-approved Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal project and related 234-mile natural gas transmission pipeline have accused Oregon state officials of stacking the regulatory deck against the LNG terminal developers because of widespread opposition to their project by the state’s attorney general as well as the heads of two state departments specifically named in the legal action.

More than five years after Enron Corp. collapsed into bankruptcy, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Wednesday charged Jordan Mintz and Rex Rogers, two former in-house lawyers, with participating in various fraudulent schemes.
