China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. (Sinopec) has agreed three liquefied natural gas deals with US project developer Venture Global totalling 5 million tonnes per annum, two for the Plaquemines project and one for the Calcasieu Pass plant, both in Louisiana.

Columbia Gulf Transmission, the natural gas pipeline along the US Gulf Coast, has received authorisation from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that will enable the supply of feed gas to the Venture Global Plaquemines LNG export plant being built on the west bank of the Mississippi River.
