![]() Calcasieu Pass loaded its first cargo 30 months after its final investment decision, which was the shortest amount of time of all the LNG export projects in the United States. On March 1, Calcasieu Pass loaded and shipped its first LNG cargo, often called a commissioning cargo, aboard the tanker Yiannis, chartered by JERA Global Markets, which delivered the LNG to ports in the Netherlands and France. With only three blocks left to authorize for commissioning, and given the pace at which the terminal has received FERC approvals to commission blocks, Calcasieu Pass could reach its full LNG production capacity of 1.3 Bcf/d baseload (1.6 Bcf/d peak) by the third quarter of this year. ![]() Natural gas deliveries to the terminal have increased throughout 2022, averaging approximately 0.7 Bcf/d in April, according to PointLogic. Since November 2021, Venture Global has received FERC approval to commission Blocks 2–6, most recently on March 30, 2022. The Calcasieu Pass terminal receives its feedgas through Venture Global’s 24-mile, 42-inch diameter TransCameron Pipeline, which has interconnections with the ANR, TETCO, and Bridgeline pipelines. In addition to 18 mid-scale liquefaction trains, the Calcasieu Pass facility includes an onsite natural gas-fired plant to generate electricity for the facility’s operations, three pre-treatment trains, two LNG storage tanks (with a capacity of 4.4 Bcf each), and two shipping berths capable of loading LNG vessels with carrying capacities of up to 185,000 cubic meters (4 Bcf). LNG liquefaction export facility to begin producing LNG since 2016. Similar to nearby LNG terminals Sabine Pass and Cameron, Calcasieu Pass will export LNG through the Calcasieu Ship Channel located on the Gulf of Mexico. The first authorization, issued in November 2021, was one of the initial steps toward full commercial service.Ĭalcasieu Pass is a 1.3 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) liquefaction facility located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Each block contains two liquefaction systems called trains. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has authorized Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC, (Venture Global)-the developer of the Calcasieu Pass liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal-to commission the first six of nine liquefaction blocks. Energy Information Administration, based on data from PointLogic and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) ![]() Once operational, the Calcasieu Pass Pass project would become the seventh large LNG export facility in the US.Source: Graph by the U.S. Some reports also suggested the firm had issued a tender for cargoes from Calcasieu Pass for delivery starting later this year. In addtion, Venture has also said in a filing to FERC in March that it could start first exports from the LNG facility by the end of this year with full operations planned in mid-2022. The company said earlier this year it had received about a half of the 18 modular units with a capacity of 0.6 mtpa, each. Venture Global gets Calcasieu Pass modular trains from Baker Hughes’ manufacturing facility in Italy. The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said in a letter dated May 10 it had approved Venture Global’s request to introduce “temporary aqueous ammonia to the LM2500 gas turbine.” The Calcasieu Pass project will produce about 10 mtpa of LNG from 18 modular units configured in 9 blocks. Venture Global LNG’s Calcasieu Pass export project in Louisiana has received approval from US regulators to commission a gas turbine as it continues to progress towards the first production.
