Freeport LNG may get approval to export LNG later this year

摘要

Freeport LNG Development may get approval to export LNG from its LNG export project in the next quarter or two, Bloomberg reported, citing the head of Baker Botts LLP's LNG practice. The Texas project is next on the U.S. Department of Energy's list of companies seeking permission to export LNG to countries that are not party to U.S. free trade agreements. The government is expected to follow the list, said Steven Miles. "The Department of Energy is being as diligent as they can on this," Miles said. "There's an awful lot of work to be done in terms of processing these applications."
