LNG Exports

Tuesday, March 1, 2016 15:22

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The U.S. will be exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) abroad due to the shale revolution, increasing production, and higher prices in outside markets. The U.S. will become a net exporter of gas this year or next. After Qatar and Australia, the U.S. could become the world’s third-largest LNG supplier by 2020.

The Cheniere Energy’s Sabine Pass facility on the Gulf Coast will be the first to export LNG from U.S. shale fields. When fully operational before 2019, Sabine Pass will be able to export 3.5 Bcf/day.

Facility owners are reconfiguring their LNG import structures to export. These Brownfield projects to convert existing re-gasification facilities to liquefaction facilities can provide a 35-50% cost savings relative to new, greenfield LNG projects. Brownfields make permitting easier to secure and reduce capital expenditure because they already have the storage tanks and complex facilities in place.

The U.S. Department of Energy has approved projects that may send as much as 10 Bcf/day of U.S. gas abroad and is considering applications for another 35 Bcf/day. Overall, the investment in LNG export infrastructure along the Gulf Coast and Chesapeake Bay is over $50 billion. (Forbes, 1/10/2016)

LNG Export Facilities Approved

U.S. Natural Gas Exports and Re-Exports by Country

API has launched a new web-based map tracking liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects, including those waiting for approval from the federal government. The online API LNG export map displays a summary of investments, exports, and jobs associated with each application to sell LNG to countries that do not have free trade agreements with the United States. Terminals are listed in the order that the DOE expects to review the projects, along with how long each has waited for approval. Also listed are the four U.S. export sites approved since 2011, as well as 63 competing sites planned or under construction in foreign nations. (API)
