CH-IV International informed that it will manage the development of the formal Federal Energy Regulatory Commission application, including detailed engineering and design, for Freeport LNG’s train 4 at the Quintana Island facility.
Freeport LNG is adding a fourth natural gas liquefaction unit to the three trains already under construction. This expansion will allow for the export of an additional five million tons of LNG per year, increasing the total export capability of all four trains to over twenty million tons of LNG per year, the company said in a statement.
In mid-May 2015, Freeport LNG submitted a pre-filing request with FERC to begin the environmental review of train 4. Freeport LNG expects to file the formal application with FERC in November 2015.
The Freeport LNG import terminal originally commenced commercial regas operations in June 2008. Since then, it has received FERC authorization to add three natural gas liquefaction trains to the existing facility.
Construction on this expansion commenced in late 2014.
