New LNG export capacity near the Texas/Louisiana border, rising natural gas production in the Haynesville (and the Western Haynesville), and new pipelines transporting that gas south to the Gulf Coast have spurred a lot of interest in gas storage — and storage developers are responding. In today’s RBN blog, we’ll discuss existing and planned storage facilities between “the Haynesvilles” and the greater Sabine River area, the pipes they tie into, and the role all that storage will play as regional gas production and LNG export volumes increase.

The RBN NATGAS Haynesville is a weekly natural gas fundamentals analysis focused on supply, flow, and LNG-driven demand dynamics within the Haynesville basin.

The infrastructure buildout along the border between the Lone Star and Bayou states is well underway. According to RBN’s weekly LNG Voyager report, liquefaction trains (striped dark-blue diamonds in Figure 1 below) with a combined capacity of 75 MMtpa (10 Bcf/d) have reached a final investment decision (FID) and are under construction along or very near the Sabine-Neches and Calcasieu ship channels, with online dates of between now and 2031.

About the song

“Save Room” was written by John Stephens (John Legend), William Adams (will.i.am.), Jessyca Wilson, Buddy Buie and James R. Cobb. It appears as the first song on John Legend’s second studio album, Once Again. The song is built on a sample of Gabor Szabo’s version of the Classic IV’s hit single, “Stormy,” written by Buddy Buie and James R. Cobb. Buie and Cobb would later open the Studio One recording studio in Doraville, GA, and put together the successful Southern Rock band Atlanta Rhythm Section (ARS), writing most of their hit songs. [As a side note, after ARS opened a show for Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) in Tulsa in the 1970s, they went to a Tulsa nightclub and jammed for a few songs with Paradise, a local band that included RBN’s Rusty Braziel and Mickey McMahan.] Brian Barber directed the video for “Save Room.” It was released as a single in August 2006 and went to #10 on the Billboard Adult R&B chart and #61 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart. It has been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Once Again was recorded at various studios in 2005-06 and produced by Kanye West, John Legend, Dave Tozer, will.i.am, Raphael Saadiq, Craig Street, Eric Hudson, Devo Springsteen and Avenue. Released in October 2006, the album went to #1 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart and #3 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. It has been certified Platinum by the RIAA. Seven singles were released from the LP.

John Legend (John Roger Stephens) is an American singer, songwriter, pianist, record producer and actor. He began his professional career as a session pianist and background vocalist in the late 1990s. He released his debut studio album, Get Lifted, on Kanye West’s Good Music label in 2004. Legend has released 10 studio albums, six live albums, three EPs and 56 singles and has sold over 7 million records worldwide. He has won an Academy Award, three Daytime Emmy Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, 13 Grammy Awards, a Tony Award, an American Music Award, two Billboard Music Awards, and two MTV Video Music Awards. Legend has appeared on 26 television shows, 11 motion pictures, and has been a judge on the TV talent show "The Voice” for nine seasons. He still records and will begin a U.S. tour in mid-March.
