LNG

The US was taking hurricane protection measures for July 7 and July 8 as the first major storm of the season, Hurricane Beryl, blew past Jamaica and Mexico and entered the Gulf of Mexico as a severe Tropical Storm headed for Texas and Louisiana, the centres of oil and gas and LNG and feed-gas supplies.

Venture Global LNG, the owner of the Calcasieu Pass export plant in Louisiana and with three more facilities planned, is considering some changes in the fourth on the list of plants being developed on the US Gulf Coast by the Arlington, Virginia-based company.
