Almost six months after announcing its intentions, Cheniere Energy Inc. said Monday it has submitted applications with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to build and operate its Creole Trail liquefied natural gas terminal and associated gas pipeline.
The Creole Trail LNG terminal would be located at the mouth of the Calcasieu Channel in Cameron Parish, La.
The proposed $900 million LNG-receiving terminal is planned as North America's largest and is intended to be operational in 2009.
In January at its announcement, Cheniere's chief executive Charif Souki said the permitting process would take 12-18 months.
The proposed Creole Trail Pipeline will originate at the LNG Terminal and extend 118 miles through Cameron, Calcasieu, Beauregard, Allen, Jefferson Davis and Acadia parishes and end near Rayne, La.
It will be designed with potential interconnections to interstate and intrastate pipelines in southwest Louisiana.
Cheniere Energy, Inc. is a Houston-based developer of LNG-receiving terminals and a Gulf of Mexico E&P company.
Cheniere is developing Gulf Coast LNG-receiving terminals near Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish, La.; near Corpus Christi; and the Creole Trail terminal in Cameron Parish, La. |
