LNG

Chesapeake Energy Corp. has become the most high-profile oil and gas company to emerge from US Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and has a new agenda to boost natural gas output with greener overtones in Appalachia and the LNG-producing area of the Gulf Coast from its 1.6 million net acres in key American basins.

Dominion Energy, the US East Coast-based utility and pipeline company, said Cove Point LNG export plant on Chesapeake Bay in Maryland has shipped its 100th commercial cargo since starting up 18 months ago.

Kinder Morgan, the US pipeline and terminals company, evacuated its Elba Island LNG export plant near Savannah in Georgia and its ongoing commissioning activities as Hurricane Dorian moved along the East Coast.
