METAIRIE, La., Aug. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Argent LNG is pursuing approval from the FERC
to begin the environmental pre-filing review for its mid-sized
onshore LNG export project in Louisiana. This crucial step marks the
beginning of an endeavor to enhance the LNG infrastructure in the
region, addressing both international energy needs and the local
community.
On August 1, 2024, representatives
of Argent LNG, led by Jonathan Bass,
met with FERC staff to introduce the project and discuss approval
to move into pre-filing. The meeting included key stakeholders from
various organizations: Chett
Chaisson, Executive Director of Port Fourchon; Vasant Saith (VP), Alden
Evans (VP), and Priya
Srinivasan (Manager of US Regulatory and Atmospherics) from
Worley; and Tony Eaton (SVP) from
Chart Industries. This gathering underscored the collaborative
effort and multi-faceted expertise driving the project forward.
"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," said Jonathan
Bass. "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.
