Commonwealth LNG Files FERC Application
Commonwealth LNG has filed an application with FERC for authorization to construct and operate a liquefaction and LNG export terminal consisting of six liquefaction trains, each with a design production capacity of approximately 65.1 Bcf/year (equivalent to 1.4 million metric tonnes per annum (“MTPA”)); six LNG storage tanks; one marine loading berth; and a 3.04-mile long, 30-inch diameter pipeline, among other facilities. Under optimal operating conditions the facility will have a peak capacity of up to 441.4 Bcf/year (equivalent to approximately 9.5 MTPA of LNG). The facility will be located in Cameron Parish, La., on the west side of the Calcasieu Ship Channel near its entrance to the Gulf of Mexico.
