Shell to Acquire Additional Capacity at Elba Island
Shell today announced a deal with Southern Natural Gas Company to secure capacity in a further expansion of the Elba Island LNG terminal and on a proposed new pipeline to be built in conjunction with the terminal’s expansion. According to the press release, Shell plans to file both projects with FERC by the third quarter of 2006. The expansion is expected to be the home for Shell’s imports from the Qatargas 4 liquefaction project, in which it has a 30 percent ownership interest. The Qatargas 4 project will have capability of producing 1.4 Bcf/day.
