FERC Approves Freeport LNG Terminal Expansion

FERC yesterday approved a plan to augment send-out capacity from 1.5 Bcf/d to 4 Bcf/d at the proposed Freeport LNG terminal in Texas. ConocoPhillips, Dow Chemical Co., Cheniere Energy, and Michael Smith, former head of Basin Exploration, are involved in the facility, which is expected to come onstream in 2009. The Houston Chronicle has the story. Although not yet issued at the time of this posting, FERC’s order will be found in the e-Library in Docket No. CP05-361.
