Let the good times roll. It’s been a red-hot summer for natural gas infrastructure in Southwest Louisiana. The most recent earth-shaking news was Venture Global’s highly-anticipated final investment decision (FID) on phase one of its CP2 LNG export facility in Cameron Parish which could take at least 1.5 Bcf/d of feedgas and up to 3.7 Bcf/d following phase 2. The CP2 liquefaction and export terminal is Venture Global’s third in Louisiana, joining Calcasieu Pass and Plaquemines LNG. Alongside CP2 comes the CP Express Pipeline, that reaches into Texas, near the terminus of WhiteWater’s Blackfin Pipeline – meaning that it could potentially source feedgas from the Permian through the PHP/Matterhorn pipelines to Blackfin to CP Express route.

I’m Back (Back in the LNG Groove) - How Woodside's FID on Louisiana LNG Shakes Things Up
Woodside Energy’s final investment decision (FID) on the $17.5 billion Louisiana LNG terminal was a stunner. For one thing, only 1 million metric tons per annum (MMtpa) of the project’s 16.5 MMtpa (2.2 Bcf/d) of capacity is under contract — U.S. LNG export projects typically have commitments for two-thirds or more of their output before pulling the trigger. The project will also have an outsized impact on gas flows in a region already struggling to keep up, and it may well upend plans for other projects in the works. In today’s RBN blog, we take a closer look at Louisiana LNG, Woodside’s daring development approach, and the terminal’s impacts on gas demand, gas flows and pre-FID projects.

Helter Skelter - Wave of LNG FIDs and Data Center Mania Spur a Flood of Gas Pipeline Projects
Odds are there’s never been a busier, more frantic time for natural-gas-related infrastructure development in Texas and Louisiana than right now. Construction is underway or imminent at no fewer than seven Gulf Coast LNG export terminals with a combined capacity of 16 Bcf/d.
