Argent LNG Secures Initial FERC Meeting for Louisiana Export Project
(P&GJ) — Argent LNG has taken a key step toward developing its mid-sized LNG export facility in Louisiana by initiating the pre-filing review with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). On August 1, 2024, Argent LNG's team, led by Jonathan Bass, met with FERC representatives to discuss the project and seek approval to move into the pre-filing stage.
The meeting included stakeholders such as Chett Chaisson from Port Fourchon, and Vasant Saith, Alden Evans, Priya Srinivasan from Worley, and Tony Eaton from Chart Industries. This collaborative session highlighted the project's multi-faceted approach and its potential impact on the LNG sector.
"This step marks a significant milestone in Argent LNG's journey to providing LNG to countries seeking the reliability of baseload energy originating from the United States of America," Bass said. "Argent is looking to build one of the most technologically advanced projects in the United States. Our goal is to set a new standard for efficiency, safety, environmental and ethical business stewardship in the LNG industry."
Upon completion of the meeting, Argent LNG plans to apply to FERC later this year, seeking authorizations under Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act. Argent LNG anticipates receiving final FERC authorization in 2026, with a project launch slated for Q4 2029.
The proposed project includes the construction of up to 12 LNG trains with a combined capacity of 25 MTPA. The facility will be situated in Port Fourchon, a strategic location that offers optimal access to Europe and Southeast Asia. This site selection reflects Argent LNG's commitment to leveraging existing infrastructure while minimizing environmental impact.
As Argent LNG moves forward with its plans, the company remains steadfast in its mission to deliver a state-of-the-art LNG export facility that not only meets stringent standards but also contributes to the growing global demand for clean energy. The meeting with FERC and other stakeholders highlights the shared commitment to achieving these goals.
