LNG

Canadian equity fund Brookfield Asset Management has purchased a 25 percent stake in Dominion Energy Cove Point LNG, the single-Train Maryland plant holding tolling agreements with Indian and Japanese companies. The transaction shows the growing value of US liquefaction and export facilities.

Oil Search, the Papua New Guinea energy company, said the PNG liquefied natural gas plant again posted high quarterly production, though suffered output disruption because of damage to the loading facility amid optimism for a final agreement before the end of 2019 on the LNG expansion project.

McDermott International, the US energy and LNG project contractor, said it had entered into an agreement with lenders for access to up to $1.7 billion of additional financing, including letters of credit as it embarks on a company overhaul to regain profitability.

The Sempra Energy Cameron LNG export plant in Louisiana has received regulatory permission to start commissioning the second processing Train at the facility on the Calcasieu Ship Channel and commercial operations are on track to start in early 2020.
