DOE authorizes more LNG exports from Eagle Ford terminal
The US Department of Energy (DOE) will allow Flint Hills Resources to export 3.62 Bcfy of LNG for 20 years to countries with which the US does not have a free trade agreement.
"It has not been demonstrated that the proposed exports of LNG to non-FTA countries will be inconsistent with the public interest," the DOE's Office of Fossil Energy said.
The company will be authorized to export the LNG in ISO containers or in bulk from the LNG terminal owned by Stabilis Energy LLC's Stabilis LNG Eagle Ford LLC, located in George West, Texas.
Gas for the Stabilis terminal would come from a local gas plant and be conveyed by intrastate pipeline. Flint Hills Resources would then buy the LNG from Stabilis.
The proposed exports would not require the construction of additional infrastructure. Export points would include the ports of Houston, Corpus Christi and Brownsville in Texas.
In April, the DOE granted authorization to Flint Hills to export the same amount of LNG from the Stabilis terminal over a 20-year period to FTA countries.
Stabilis Energy created a venture in 2013 with Flint Hills Resources LLC, which operates Flint Hills Resources LP, to construct as many as five liquefaction plants to provide LNG for oilfield fuel consumers.
The George West terminal started up in March 2015.
