Protesting

Shell NA LNG LLC is protesting Florida Gas Transmission’s (FGT) proposed tariff revisions related to the interchangeability of Btu-rich regasified liquefied natural gas (LNG) and conventional dry gas on its pipeline system, saying the changes are biased against LNG and would close off the Florida gas market to LNG supply sources.

Two Trinidad-based liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporters are protesting a rate hike request by Southern LNG for terminaling at its Elba Island import station, saying the request would result in 260% cumulative increases since the project was first proposed. They warned that because of “inefficient high-cost bottlenecks in the gas chain, the United States’ gas market will become less attractive as a destination for LNG supplies.”

Canadian producers, distributor customers and Idaho potato processors are protesting a rate case filing by Viking Gas Transmission that the protesters claim would raise the pipeline’s rates by over 50% at the same time it proposes a number of changes in its rate and scheduling scheme, including term-differentiated rates.
