Venture Global expands Calcasieu Pass project site

Venture Global LNG said that its unit, Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, has entered into a binding agreement for an additional 59-acre parcel of land adjacent to its existing Calcasieu Pass project site.

The Calcasieu Pass project, a liquefaction and export facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, filed with the U.S. Department of Energy for Free Trade Agreement and non-FTA export authorization in 2013 and began the pre-filing approval process with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in 2014.

On Dec. 23, 2014, Venture Global Calcasieu Pass entered into a binding letter agreement providing the subsidiary with the exclusive right to negotiate a lease option agreement for an additional 59-acre parcel of land adjacent to the northern border of the current 203.6-acre project site. With the 59 acres included, the Calcasieu Pass Project has approximately one mile of frontage on the Calcasieu Ship.
