Developers of a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) import-export project at the mouth of Oregon’s Columbia River remain undaunted by a court ruling last month that upheld reversing county permitting approval.

Isaac, a Category 1 hurricane as of late Tuesday, was expected to make landfall near the mouth of the Mississippi River at about 7 p.m. CDT and then jog slowly through the night toward New Orleans before striking there early Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.

FERC said Thursday it plans to combine the environmental assessment of a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) import-export terminal at the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon and a connecting 86-mile transmission pipeline. Both the project backers and opposing environmental groups lauded the move by federal regulators.

Oregon LNG, the liquefied natural gas (LNG) import project proposed for the mouth of the Columbia River at Warrenton, OR, has asked FERC for permission to switch to a bidirectional import-export project and has signed an agreement with Williams’ Northwest Pipeline Co. to expand the capacity of lines bringing Canadian gas into the Pacific Northwest. It is the 14th U.S. project seeking an export permit to cover all nations.

As indicated this spring, Oregon LNG, the liquefied natural gas (LNG) import project proposed for the mouth of the Columbia River at Warrenton, OR, has switched to a bidirectional import-export project, filing with FERC to do so and signing an agreement with Williams’ Northwest Pipeline Co. to expand the capacity of lines bringing Canadian gas into the Pacific Northwest.

Proponents of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal near the mouth of the Columbia River at Warrenton, OR, received a local land-use approval last Monday for a connecting transmission pipeline intended to link the terminal to interstate pipelines and the greater Portland, OR market. Oregon LNG CEO Peter Hansen called the Clatsop County decision critical for the LNG project.

The U.S. Coast Guard April 24 issued a form of a security clearance to the backers of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal near the mouth of the Columbia River on the Skipanon Peninsula in Warrenton, OR. Oregon LNG’s proposed $1.3 billion project would have a minimal security impact on the Columbia River, according to the Coast Guard’s Letter of Recommendation (LOR), which is heavily qualified and similar to its determinations for the state’s other proposed LNG projects.
