LNG

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Chairman Kevin McIntyre has died at his home in Arlington, Virginia, after an illness. He was 58 and had been nominated in August 2017 to head the FERC, the main regulatory body for LNG projects and other energy-related ventures.

The 4.3-billion Rover Pipeline, among the largest US natural gas expansions under development and designed to deliver Marcellus and Utica shale gas to LNG ventures on the Gulf Coast and markets in the Midwest, has accused the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency of attempting to delay the project’s completion.
