The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued the order granting authorization for Tellurian Inc.’s proposed Driftwood LNG export project and an associated pipeline in Louisiana. The project would produce as much as 27.6 million tonnes/year of LNG for export.
The Driftwood LNG project consists of two main components: the construction and operation of the LNG facility, which includes five LNG plant facilities to liquefy natural gas, three tanks to store the LNG, LNG carrier loading/berthing facilities, and other appurtenant facilities at a site near Carlyss, Calcasieu Parish, La.; and the construction and operation of about 96 miles of pipeline, three new compressor stations, and 15 new meter stations.
Construction is expected to begin this year with first LNG anticipated in 2023.
