United LNG, Freeport-McMoRan to develop deepwater export

摘要

United LNG and Freeport-McMoRan Energy LLC (FME), a subsidiary of McMoRan Exploration Co, are engaged in efforts to utilize McMoRan's Main Pass Energy Hub (MPEH) as a potential Deepwater Port facility to receive, store, condition, and liquefy domestic natural gas for export as LNG. MPEH is located 16 miles off the Louisiana coast. Natural gas would be received by pipeline at MPEH, processed, and then transferred to on-site floating vessels for liquefaction and offloading to LNG transport vessels for export to foreign locations.
