LNG

April 19 (LNGJ) - Sempra Energy, the California-based utility transforming its Cameron LNG terminal in Louisiana and Costa Azul facility on the Pacific coast of Mexico into export plants, said it was scaling back its Mexican liquefaction plans. The Sempra Mexican subsidiary, Infraestructura Energetica Nova (IEnova), is now looking at a small-scale plant with 2.5 million tonnes per annum of output by around 2023 instead of a larger plant constructed later with up to 12 MTPA of capacity and closer to the size of Cameron LNG. Sempra is also planning to construct another export plant along the Sabine-Neches Waterway at Port Arthur in southeast Texas with Australian company Woodside Petroleum as one of its partners.
