Tellurian Inc.’s proposed 37-mile Line 200 and Line 300 natural gas pipelines last week received a positive draft environmental impact statement from the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), advancing the project towards construction. The two pipelines would supply Tellurian’s 27.6-million tonne/year Driftwood LNG plant, which the company expects will deliver first LNG in 2026.
FERC staff determined that the project would result in some “adverse environmental impacts” but that these would not be significant if recommended mitigation measures were implemented. The review did not draw conclusions regarding the potential climate impacts of the project.
Line 200 and Line 300 would be dual 42-in. OD pipelines originating near the town of Ragley in Beauregard Parish, La., and running southward at a combined maximum capacity of 5.7 bcfd to Driftwood LNG, near Carlyss in Calcasieu Parish, La. The project will also include the new 211,200-hp Indian Bayou compressor station in Beauregard Parish, La.
Tellurian began construction of Driftwood LNG earlier this year (OGJ Online, Mar. 28, 2022).
