The US Federal Energy Regulation Commission (FERC) has granted Venture Global LNG, Inc authorization for the Global Calcasieu Pass LNG facility and the TransCameron Pipeline. The export facility and its linked pipeline are to be in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
The Co-CEOs of Venture Global LNG stated, “With our FERC order in hand and our project contracted with binding 20-year sale and purchase agreements (SPAs) with Shell, BP, Edison S.p.A., Galp, Repsol and PGNiG, we plan to immediately commence construction activities in Louisiana in close coordination with FERC and other agencies.” The project is expected to be operational in 2022.
The facility will have a 10 million tons per annum (mtpa) capacity once completed. GE’s Baker Hughes (BHGE) will provide an efficient liquification train solution while Kiewit has contracted to provide engineering, construction, commissioning and testing.
