The Greater Lafourche Port Commission (GLPC) and tenant Energy World USA (EWUSA) announce that wholly owned Fourchon LNG LLC has filed its formal letter to request initiation of the pre-filing review process with the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Upon completion of the pre-filing process, Fourchon LNG LLC intends to file an application with FERC for authorization to construct the proposed 5 MT per annum mid-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) production and export facility at Port Fourchon.
Once constructed, Phase 1 of the Fourchon LNG project will produce 2 MT of LNG per year for export, with a program to increase capacity up to 5 MT in Phase 2.
The Fourchon LNG facility is to be constructed to the west of Belle Pass on a site of up to 150 acres located on port-owned property outside of the port’s existing developments.
The proposed facility will represent an investment of upwards of USD 888M for Phase 1, making it the largest single initial investment in the history of both Port Fourchon and Lafourche Parish.
