Exxon Exec Pushes DOE to Allow Immediate Surge US LNG Exports

摘要

According to Rob Franklin, president of Exxon Mobil Gas & Power Marketing, the US will become one of the world's top LNG exporters and benefit immensely from those exports "only if Washington takes appropriate action." Franklin spoke at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington in a speech entitled A Casualty of Bureaucracy? The Compelling Case for Free Trade and LNG Exports. Exxon produces 14 billion cubic feet per day of gas from 35 countries, with a growing share sold via LNG. Exxon's US LNG entry is the proposed $10 billion Golden Pass terminal slated to have export capacity of 15.6 million tons per year and be located at the site of an existing, but underused, US import terminal.
