LNG Industry,


LNG Limited, the operator of the Magnolia LNG project in Lake Charles, Louisiana, has provided a quarterly report on its Q1 2014 operations.

EPC contract

A Technical Services Agreement (TSA) was executed with SK EC USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SK Engineering and Construction Company Ltd., (SKEC Group). The TSA relates to the ongoing engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) activities for Magnolia LNG’s (MLNG) planned 8 million tpa project in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The agreement follows a MoU signed by the two parties earlier this year.

FTA authorisation

The US Department of Energy (DOE) granted authorisation to export an additional 4 million tpa of LNG to FTA countries. This follows the DOE’s initial approval granted on 26 February 2013 to export up to 4 million tpa of LNG to FTA countries.

Staff appointments

John G. Baguley has been appointed as Chief Operating Officer and Rick R. Cape has been appointed as Chief Commercial Officer for the MLNG project. Both will be based in Houston, US.
