DOE OK of BG, Southern Terminal At Lake Charles Offers Insights

摘要

Conditional approval earlier this month of a third LNG project on the US Gulf Coast did more than just clear the way for more natural gas to be exported from the US, according to researchers for El's Strategic Trends retainer service, "The Lake Charles approval marginally reduces regulatory uncertainty related to the licensing process for US LNG export ventures, although it says little about the future pace of approval. From a project development perspective, key milestones still lie ahead, including reaching a final investment decision, but Lake Charles has several strengths that give it an advantage over other ventures pending approval," they said.
