LNG

A dark environmental forecast is being countered by a move to brighten the commercial outlook for the all Asian-owned bid to launch overseas shipments of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the northern Pacific Coast of British Columbia (BC).

Cheniere Energy Inc.’s Sabine Pass Liquefaction project in Louisiana may very well have produced its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) this week from the its first train, Genscape Inc. said Friday after monitoring pipeline and flaring activity around the plant.

The backers of two separate liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals in Nova Scotia have received approvals for their facilities to source gas from the United States in order to be liquefied at their respective facilities and exported to non-free trade agreement (FTA) countries.

Work has been suspended on a C$1.9 billion ($1.4 billion) planned British Columbia (BC) addition to TransCanada Corp.’s western supply collection network, Nova Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) until shippers set a schedule for the long-proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project in Kitimat.

A final decision on whether to move forward with the massive LNG Canada export project has been “pushed out to the future,” while unconventional oil and natural gas projects are on the longer-term list, Royal Dutch Shell plc CEO Ben van Beurden said Thursday.

A Houston-based company on Wednesday asked the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for permission to export nearly 50 Bcf of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Caribbean markets from a proposed Jacksonville, FL, export facility.

A dream of reviving a mining ghost town with liquefied natural gas (LNG) has pumped up the total of Canadian supplies hunting with 20- to 40-year export licenses for overseas sales to 50 Bcf/d.

Another two Canadian terminal proposals picked up liquefied natural gas (LNG) export licenses Friday, raising the number of approvals granted by the National Energy Board (NEB) to 25.

U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals “raced ahead” last year as a final investment decision (FID) was made on three projects during the first half, representing 18.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of capacity, according to Wood Mackenzie Ltd.’s principal analyst Alex Munton. But LNG demand in Asia has waned, analysts said, creating uncertainty ahead.
