Lake Charles LNG partners work towards final investment decision on facility plan

摘要

SHELL and partner Energy Transfer plan to move toward a final investment decision on the proposed Lake Charles liquefied natural gas export facility in Louisiana, writes Caroline Evans. The planned 16.45 million tonnes per annum facility would provide Shell with an operated LNG export position on the US Gulf Coast by the mid-20208, when the company expects global LNG supply to tighten, said Frederic Phipps, Shell's vice president, Lake Charles LNG. Under a project framework agreement, Shell and Energy Transfer expect to issue an invitation to tender for an engineering, procurement and construction contract in the coming weeks.
