Grand Isle LNG Pitches Plan for LNG Export Facility Offshore Louisiana
(P&GJ) — Grande Isle LNG has put forward a plan for an offshore liquefaction facility with an annual capacity of 4.2 million tonnes. The proposed plant would be in federal waters, specifically on the West Delta blocks, approximately 13 miles off the coast of Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.
The company anticipates commencing Phase 1 shipments by 2026.
“Significant benefits of the proposed natural gas processing and LNG export facility are that it will provide affordable, clean energy, and generate long-term, good paying jobs throughout the Gulf South and beyond for years to come,” Robert Shivers, Grand Isle LNG CEO, said.
Located in federal waters of the West Delta Blocks in depths ranging from 68 to 72 feet, construction of the facility is planned in two phases. When complete, the plant will consist of a crew quarters platform, two gas treatment platforms, two 2.1 million tons per annum (MTPA) liquefaction platforms, two loading platforms, one thermal oxidizer platform, and two 155,000 cubic meter storage and offloading vessels.
The proposed Deepwater port is a platform-based modular design; its pipeline access, and its nearshore location will result in one of the least expensive and safest operations on the market today, the company said. Importantly, all platforms and many components of the facility will be Louisiana made by Louisiana energy workers.
Because the Deepwater Port licensing application will be sanctioned by MARAD, it will go through a rigorous and comprehensive review by numerous federal and state agencies that will ensure the planned facility is compliant with all environmental and safety requirements.
Grand Isle’s management team represents experienced engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs with more than 120 years combined work experience in Oil and Gas development, including offshore platform finance, construction, and operations.
