LNG

While the Columbia River-based Oregon LNG project to import/export shale gas supplies from British Columbia (BC) has quietly filed for a permit from the National Energy Board (NEB) in Canada, it is still searching for the right mix of partner/customers that can give the $6 billion venture a realistic chance of being completed before 2020.

The state of Alaska and ExxonMobil Corp., BP plc, ConocoPhillips and TransCanada Corp. have signed a heads of agreement (HOA) for the proposed Alaska liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, which would provide gas to Alaskans and be one of the largest export projects of its kind in the world.

The United States will be a global natural gas trading powerhouse by 2035 by which time the commodity’s market share will match that of oil and coal, BP plc’s top economist said Wednesday.

A second U.S. export terminal project on the Pacific Coast is reaching north to Canada for shale production to turn into Asia-bound tanker cargoes of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

The state of Alaska will be an equity partner in a pipeline and natural gas liquefaction project that would at last commercialize the state’s vast stranded natural gas resource, Gov. Sean Parnell said Friday.

FERC on Friday released its draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for Sempra Energy’s Cameron LNG export project along the Calcasieu Channel in Hackberry, LA. It recommends multiple mitigation measures for the brownfield project but finds that adverse environmental impacts “would not be significant.”

Texas LNG LLC is seeking export authorization from the U.S. Department of Energy for a project that would send up to 2 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) worldwide under tolling agreements.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will process a request by a ConocoPhillips subsidiary to resume liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports from Alaska, but it’s not likely the company will have to go to the end of a long queue seeking regulatory approval.

The total volume of proposed Canadian exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) has jumped to 189.4 Tcf, or 20.4 Bcf/d as a result of the 12th entry into the tanker terminal project lineup.
