Five independent U.S.-based producers have joined Enterprise Products Partners LP in an industry first to begin developing multiple ultra-deepwater natural gas discoveries in the largely untapped Eastern Gulf of Mexico planning area, with first production from a new platform expected by 2007. The gas production would be delivered into a new 850 MMcf/d Tennessee Gas Pipeline extension.

Twelve House lawmakers from Massachusetts and Rhode Island called on several federal agencies last Monday to review proposals for construction of new liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals based on a regional approach.

Looking to bring an additional source of natural gas to Oregon, Energy Projects Development LLC (EPD) of Evergreen, CO, is working to site a liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminal and storage facility near an existing wood chip dock at Jordan Cove on the industrial bay side of the North Split of Coos Bay, OR.

Natural gas prices are expected to continue rising this year, averaging more than $6/MMBtu this fall and winter, according to the Energy Information Administration’s latest Short Term Energy Outlook. The EIA has done an about-face on its domestic supply projections. It now sees “only marginal improvement in the supply picture” through 2005 with slight domestic production growth next year and modest increases in liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports.

The proposed Sempra Energy-Shell joint venture North Baja, Mexico, liquefied natural gas (LNG) project has the best chance among current ones proposed in Mexico to actually come to fruition, but even it still faces some major questions, according to a U. S.-based expert monitoring energy developments in Mexico.

Cheniere Energy Inc.’s chairman said last week that if FERC expedites permitting for a proposed facility it wants to build, Louisiana could have a Sabine Pass liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal up and running by late 2007 or early 2008.
