LNG

Aug 28 – Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) has started for Live Oak, the large-scale electric Natural Gas (e-NG) project in Norfolk, Nebraska. Initiated by TotalEnergies and TES in 2023, Live Oak has since brought Osaka Gas, Toho Gas and ITOCHU into the consortium, as Japanese buyers seek to source e-NG in addition to LNG to improve their overall environmental footprint.

ASX-listed Horizon Oil has just finalised the engineering concept on its Western LNG development in Papua New Guinea. The 1.5 mpta project will generate US$20-30 billion in revenues over its lifetime, according to Horizon’s new CEO Michael Sheridan.

Leapfrogging forward, partners in the Alaska LNG project have submitted a request to export up to 20 mtpa over a 30-year period to countries that have free trade agreements with the U.S., as well as to non-FTA countries, to the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE).

With a shorter pre-FID and construction schedule, lower capital expenditure and flexibility to move it around, barge-type FLNG projects with a capacity 1 to 1.5 mtpa of having some significant advantages over large floating or land-based liquefaction projects, according to Øivin Iversen, CEO of Höegh FLNG.
