LNG

Port Dolphin LNG, the import project planned for offshore Tampa Bay, Florida, by Norway’s Hoegh LNG, is making progress as the US Maritime Administration and the Coast Guard have completed a Draft Environmental Impact Statement.

Woodside Petroleum said first-quarter LNG production dropped by an average 3,624 tonnes per day because of plant problems, but revenue from LNG sales rose by around 30 percent for the six partners in the Australian North West Shelf project to be worth a combined US$1.2 billion.

The first cargo delivery for the US Northeast Gateway regasification and storage vessel facility set up by Excelerate Energy offshore Massachusetts has been postponed for a month and the cargo will be split in a ship-to-ship transfer.

Cheniere Energy is in advanced talks with a major North American natural gas marketing company to manage throughput of LNG and the downstream marketing of LNG cargoes delivered to the new Sabine Pass terminal in Louisiana.
