US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright today approved liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports at the Venture Global CP2 LNG export project proposed for Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
Secretary Wright said the benefits of expanding US LNG exports “have never been more clear” and the government was clearing the way for projects like CP2 in order to meet growing future energy demand.
Today’s authorisation conditionally grants CP2 authorisation to export LNG to non-free trade agreement countries. Once constructed, CP2, owned by Venture Global, will be able to export up to 3.96 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of LNG.
The CP Express 48-inch-diameter, 85-mile pipeline will originate in Jasper and Newton County, Texas and feed natural gas to the proposed LNG facility in Cameron Parish, supported by a six-mile lateral pipeline. A new compressor station is proposed to be constructed near Moss Lake.
