DOE approves Delfin LNG export request

LNG Industry, Tuesday, 25 Feb 14

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has approved Delfin LNG’s application to export 657.5 billion ft³ of LNG annually over a 20-year period to FTA (free trade agreement) countries.

Delfin LNG filed an application in October last year to export LNG from a proposed floating LNG (FLNG) terminal located 30 miles offshore Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The facility will be a deepwater port subject to the jurisdiction of the US Maritime Administration (MARAD).

Delfin will export LNG on its own behalf and as an agent for third parties.

The full DOE application can be accessed here.
