Dominion Puts Fifth Tank in Service at Cove Point, Increasing LNG Storage to 7.8 Billion Cubic Feet prnewswire.com RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dominion (NYSE: D) has placed a new liquefied natural gas storage tank in service at Dominion Cove Point in Maryland, increasing on-site storage from the equivalent of 5 billion cubic feet to 7.8 billion cubic feet of natural gas. The new tank holds 135,000 cubic meters of LNG, which is approximately equivalent to 2.8 billion cubic feet of natural gas. (Logo: newscom.com ) (Photo: newscom.com ) "Increased storage gives shippers the added flexibility needed to reliably provide natural gas in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast year-round," said Thos. E. Capps, Dominion's chairman and chief executive officer. "I'm particularly proud that our staff was able to complete the project nearly three months ahead of schedule so we could provide service during the coming winter months." The new tank is the final step in the re-commissioning and expansion of the import terminal undertaken by Dominion in 2003. In its first year of service, Dominion Cove Point delivered 187 billion cubic feet of natural gas. Dominion has proposed an additional expansion of the facility scheduled for 2008, which would increase output capacity from 1 billion cubic feet per day to 1.8 billion cubic feet per day, and storage capacity from 7.8 billion cubic feet to 14.6 billion cubic feet. LNG provides a safe and efficient way of transporting and storing natural gas, as it is stored at about minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit at near atmospheric pressure. The new tank has a 9 percent nickel steel inner tank surrounded by about four feet of insulation, which is contained by an outer steel tank. LNG is non-toxic, non-explosive and non-flammable in its liquid state and will burn only after it has been re-gasified and mixed in the proper proportion with air. Dominion Cove Point is one of four operating import facilities in the U.S., and the U.S. has the largest number of active LNG facilities in the world, with over 110 locations. Dominion is one of the nation's largest producers of energy, with an energy portfolio of about 25,500 megawatts of generation, 6.4 trillion cubic feet equivalent of proved natural gas reserves and 7,900 miles of natural gas transmission pipeline. Dominion also operates the nation's largest underground natural gas storage system with more than 960 billion cubic feet of storage capacity and serves retail energy customers in eight states.

Dominion completes Cove Point LNG terminal expansion, proposes another ogj.pennnet.com By OGJ editors HOUSTON, Dec. 9 -- Dominion, Richmond, Va., has completed the recommissioning and expansion of the Dominion Cove Point LNG import terminal in Maryland that it began in 2003 and has proposed another expansion. The company placed into service, 3 months ahead of schedule, a new, 135,000 cu m capacity LNG storage tank at the terminal, bringing the total number of tanks at the site to five. The new tank holds the equivalent of 2.8 bcf of natural gas, increasing on-site storage to the equivalent of 7.8 bcf of gas. Dominion's proposal for an additional expansion, scheduled to be in service in 2008, would increase output capacity to 1.8 bcfd from 1 bcfd and storage capacity to 14.6 bcf (OGJ Online, June 14, 2004). Facilities would include two additional storage tanks, additional vaporization and electrical equipment, and pipelines. The terminal will flow the additional gas through 47 miles of looped pipeline in Maryland and 88 miles of pipeline to be laid in Pennsylvania along with two compressor stations at Leidy, Pa. Construction on the 3-year project will begin as soon as regulatory approvals are received, said Dominion spokesman Dan Donovan. Dominion purchased the Cove Point terminal from Williams Cos. in 2002 and restarted operations in mid-2003, delivering 187 bcf of natural gas in its first year of renewed service.

This import terminal, one of the largest LNG facilities constructed by CB&I in the United States, is owned and operated by Dominion Cove Point LNG, LP, a subsidiary of Dominion (NYSE:D), one of the largest U.S. energy producers. CB&I's scope of work for the Cove Point Expansion Project includes the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of an additional 800 million standard cubic feet per day (SCFD) of regasification and sendout process equipment; gas turbine generation; two 160,000 cubic meter LNG storage tanks; and new administration, control and maintenance buildings and all ancillary systems. The project will increase the facility's sendout capacity from 1 billion SCFD to 1.8 billion SCFD, and nearly double storage capacity from 7.8 billion cubic feet to 14.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas.

Statoil to Double Planned Capacity at Snohvit LNG Plant Interfax Information Services, B.V. Wednesday, September 14, 2005 rigzone.com Statoil plans to double planned capacity at a liquefied gas plant at the Snohvit field by 2012, Henrik Carlsen, the Norwegian oil and gas company's senior vice president, said at the RAO/CIS OFFSHORE 2005 conference. At around the same time, he said, Russia would bring the Prirazlomnoye field on stream and the first LNG sourced at the Shtokman field would be delivered to the United States. Statoil plans to start developing the Snohvit field, which is on its Barents Sea shelf, in October 2006. It will launch an LNG plant to process the gas in December 2006. Statoil has submitted proposals on its participation in the Shtokman project to Gazprom and will seek a 25% interest in the project, offering Gazprom 10% of the Snohvit project. Statoil is also thinking about letting Gazprom use the Statoil Cove Point regasification terminal in the United States.

Dominion, Statoil Break Ground for Cove Point LNG Expansion sev.prnewswire.com LUSBY, Md., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dominion (NYSE: D) and Statoil ASA (NYSE: STO) officially broke ground Thursday on an expansion project that will significantly increase capacity and storage at the Dominion Cove Point liquefied natural gas facility in southern Maryland. "Today we recognize the hard work that led to this ceremony as well as the very bright future for our expansion, the millions of customers that will benefit from this new source of natural gas and our partnership with Statoil," said Dominion Transmission President Gary L. Sypolt. "While this day marks the official start of construction, we began turning dirt in August immediately upon receiving approval. This expansion means Cove Point will continue to provide clean, reliable, affordable energy for Southern Maryland and the region." "Dominion Cove Point is a critical cornerstone for our expanding position in the U.S. natural gas market," said Rune Bjornson, Statoil executive vice president. "This facility gives us access to one of the largest and most active markets in the world for natural gas." Dominion and Statoil recently signed 20-year service agreements for the station expansion and increased pipeline capacity in Maryland and Pennsylvania. The service agreements begin when the expansion is activated. Work is scheduled for completion in fall 2008.

The expansion will bring temporary construction and permanent operations jobs to Maryland and Pennsylvania. Economic studies predicted $61.1 million in benefits for Maryland and $48.9 million for Pennsylvania. Currently about 20 percent of the natural gas imported at Dominion Cove Point serves the needs of Maryland customers. Dominion is one of the nation's largest producers of energy, with an energy portfolio of about 28,000 megawatts of generation, about 6.3 trillion cubic feet equivalent of proved natural gas reserves and 7,800 miles of natural gas transmission pipeline.
