Tellurian Signs Long-Term Lease with the Port of Lake Charles
Tellurian Inc. announced its wholly owned subsidiary, Driftwood LNG, has exercised its long-term lease option with the Lake Charles Harbor and Terminal District on the 477-acre site in Sulphur, Louisiana. The ground lease agreement has an initial term of 20 years with extension options of up to 50 years.
“Tellurian is taking necessary steps to prepare for Driftwood LNG construction by entering into this long-term lease and executing certain projects such as road improvements and utility relocation,” Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Keith Teague said. “We have an active and productive relationship with Port of Lake Charles officials and they have been helpful partners from the early development and site selection of our liquefied natural gas export terminal.”
Driftwood LNG will bring more than 6,500 construction jobs, about 400 operational jobs and millions of dollars in tax revenue and spending to Southwest Louisiana, said Carl J. Krielow, president of the Board of Commissioners of the Lake Charles Harbor and Terminal District.
“As a Board, we will continue to support key developments in our dynamic deepwater seaport that enhance our community and citizens,” Krielow said.
