HOUSTON, Mar. 22 -- A subsidiary of Gulf Coast LNG Partners LP, Houston, asked the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for authorization to build and operate an LNG receiving terminal.

Calhoun LNG LP wants to build a terminal on the Matagorda Ship Channel 100 miles southwest of Houston. Plans call for two 160,000 cu m storage tanks and 1 bcfd gas vaporization and liquid separation capacity.

Pending FERC authorization for the terminal, Point Comfort Pipeline Co. LP plans to build a 12-mile pipeline linking the facility with existing pipelines.

Gulf Coast LNG is a partnership owned in part by Haddington Energy Partners II LP, a Houston private equity fund.
