US terminal plans take shape but pace is slow out West
Natural gas prices and pipeline issues complicate the game beyond frontier
Catherine Elder, Sacramento, California
North American LNG has produced more speculation in recent weeks than ever about which import terminals will be built and when.
There is also more concern about whether there is enough LNG in the world to satisfy US demand and about safety issues.

Florida’s gas composition decision offers preliminary guidelines for US LNG imports
A regulatory balancing act with reverberations throughout the Gulf Coast and beyond
Jacob Dweck, Principal, LNG Solutions Group, Bill Gwozd, Vice President, Ziff Energy,
David Wochner, Attorney, Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP
“The purpose of this proceeding is to determine appropriate natural gas quality and interchangeability standards to accommodate the introductions of re-gasified liquefied natural gas (LNG) into the Florida Gas Transmission (FGT) pipeline system,” wrote Judge Herbert Grossman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in his 65-page Initial Decision published 11 April in the AES Ocean Express v. Florida Gas Transmission case.
The Commission’s charge, stressed the Judge, is a delicate balancing act: “facilitate increased access to LNG supplies and simultaneously ensure that the introduction of gasified LNG into the FGT system will not have detrimental effects” on electric turbines, gas distribution systems, end-user appliances and other customers.

US breaks logjam in LNG capacity build-up
The US federal authorities approve new ventures and expansions in Louisiana, Texas and the East Coast
Flexible policy on natural gas quality is adopted as FERC also calls for increase in storage facilities to help LNG
John McKay
US energy regulators have pushed forward five key liquefied natural gas projects and have sought to address concerns about storage capacity and the specification of regasified LNG in the pipeline system to clear the way for increased LNG imports.
In its most positive move so far to back the LNG industry, the FERC this month approved plans to build or expand five receiving terminals in the states of Louisiana, Texas, New Jersey and Maryland to boost regasification and transportation capacity.
