Venture Global ditches planned Louisiana LNG terminal
Natural gas exporter Venture Global has pulled an application with federal regulators for a liquefaction terminal in southeast Louisiana, citing plans to focus on a planned expansion of an existing export facility.
In a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission this week, a Venture Global executive said the Virginia-based company has decided 'that pursuing the Delta LNG Project at this particular time would not be the best use of its corporate resources' or those of the agency. The project would have been located in Louisiana's Plaquemines Parish.
The Venture Global subsidiaries behind the project are 'withdrawing the Delta LNG Project from the Commission's Pre-filing review process,' Fory Musser, Venture Global's senior vice president of development, said in the Tuesday letter to FERC.

Venture Global is also the developer in Louisiana of the Plaquemines LNG terminal; the Calcasieu Pass LNG facility; and the CP2 LNG project, which launched some on-site work earlier this month. The CP2 LNG facility is the company's third liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility and was caught up in the Department of Energy's LNG permitting pause last year under former President Joe Biden.
