LNG

June 23 (LNGJ) - Energy Transfer, the owner of pipeline and other assets in the Permian Basin and other shale basins in the Gulf Coast states as well as the Cushing crude oil delivery system, has learnt from regulators that its Lake Charles LNG project would not be proceeding as planned. The DoE has released a statement saying it would not rehear pipeline operator Energy Transfer's request for a second extension of its permit to export cargoes from its Lake Charles LNG export project.

   However, the Dallas, Texas-based company had a door left open for the Lake Charles venture when the DoE added that it would consider a fresh application from Energy Transfer if the company was unable to meet its deadline of 2025 for exports to begin from the plant. Energy Transfer is seeking to transform the existing Lake Charles LNG import terminal into an export facility.
