The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has approved Venture Global’s plan for introducing hazardous fluids, including feedgas and refrigerant to its Calcasieu Pass LNG export project’s 9th (final) liquefaction block and start commissioning works.
According to the
Global LNG Database®, the 10.8 MMT/Y Calcasieu Pass project is based on a mid-scale liquefaction technology, developed by General Electric’s Baker Hughes, which consist of two electrically driven 0.626 MMT/Y trains in each block.
Four of the nine gas liquefaction blocks are already in commercial operations and getting the FERC’s approval for starting commercial services of the 5th and 6th blocks is underway.
Venture Global had filed for permission to build the project in September 2015 and received FERC approval to start construction in February 2019. Calcasieu Pass holds the global record for the fastest large-scale greenfield LNG facility to ever be built, moving from FID to LNG production in just 29 months. The 174,000-CM Greek-flag Yiannis LNG vessel has shipped the project’s maiden LNG cargo on 8-Feb-2022.
In total, Venture Global has about 70 MMT/Y of LNG export capacity under construction or development in Louisiana, including the 10.8 MMT/Y Calcasieu Pass, 20 MMT/Y Plaquemines, 20 MMT/Y Delta and 20 MMT/Y CP2. Venture Global has already started early site work on the $8.5 billion Plaquemines project, which expected to start producing first LNG in 2024.
