Port Arthur LNG files to build TX liquefaction/export complex

by Erika Green

Sempra Energy said Tuesday its liquefied natural gas (LNG) subsidiaries have filed applications with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to site, construct and operate the Port Arthur LNG natural gas liquefaction facility.

The FERC application includes: two natural gas liquefaction trains capable of producing roughly 13.5 million metric tonnes per annum (MTPA), or approximately 698 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas annually; three LNG storage tanks; natural gas liquids and refrigerant storage; feed gas pre-treatment facilities; two berths and associated marine and loading facilities.

A separate application was filed with FERC seeking authorization to construct natural gas pipelines to deliver natural gas to the project, located along the Sabine-Neches Waterway in Southeast Texas, Kallanish Energy learns.

“We are pleased to continue advancing the Port Arthur LNG project,” said Octavio Simoes, president of Sempra LNG & Midstream. “Our experience in developing, building and operating energy infrastructure will help us deliver a cost-competitive project to the global LNG market.”

Sempra LNG & Midstream and the U.S. unit of Australian oil and gas giant Woodside Petroleum signed a project development agreement in February that provides a framework for cost-sharing related to the development, technical design, permitting and marketing of the proposed liquefaction project.
