According to a June 30 FERC filing, the regulator approved Venture Global Plaquemines LNG’s request to introduce hazardous fluids to LNG storage tank 4.
Venture Global’s unit told FERC on July 28 it had fulfilled the environmental conditions which were necessary prior to the introduction of gas and LNG to the fourth storage tank.
In December 2023, Venture Global completed raising the roof on the fourth and final storage tank at its Plaquemines LNG export plant in Louisiana.
CB&I won a contract from a Venture Global unit to build the first two 200,000-cbm LNG storage tanks as part of the first phase.
The second phase also includes two tanks.
In May, Venture Global won approval from FERC to commission the third tank.
Commissioning and expansion
Venture Global recently received approval from FERC to introduce natural gas to the fourteenth liquefaction block at the Plaquemines LNG terminal as part of the plant’s commissioning process.
In April, the regulator approved the commissioning of liquefaction block 10 with natural gas.
This is the first liquefaction block of the second Plaqumines LNG phase.
The full project, including the first and the second stage, features 36 modular units, configured in 18 blocks. Each train has a capacity of 0.626 mtpa.
Earlier this year, Venture Global also received approval from FERC to boost the capacity of its Plaquemines LNG terminal to 27.2 mtpa.
Moreover, Venture Global’s units, Plaquemines Expansion and Venture Global Plaquemines, began the pre-filing process at the US FERC for the $18 billion expansion project in March.
After that, Venture Global added four more liquefaction blocks to the proposed brownfield expansion.
Venture Global has increased the number of liquefaction blocks to be permitted from 12 to 16. Each block features two trains.
As a result of this modification, the proposed production capacity of the project has increased from approximately 18.6 mtpa to approximately 24.8 mtpa.
