Sempra's Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 Receives FERC Approval

Sempra Infrastructure LLC's Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 expansion project in Jefferson County, Texas has received permit approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Sempra Infrastructure said the permit is a major regulatory milestone for the project, which includes the addition of two liquefaction trains, trains 3 and 4, that are capable of producing up to 13 million metric tons per annum (mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG), the company said in a recent news release. The Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project is under active marketing and development and 'could help meet future demand for US LNG supplies expected to serve European, Asian and other global markets as countries look to enhance energy reliability and security, and displace coal in power production', the company said.
