FERC said on Wednesday that it has approved Golden Pass LNG’s June 22 request to commission the Train 2 systems.
The regulator noted that this approval does not grant Golden Pass the authority to introduce hazardous fluids into project facilities at the LNG terminal.
“Additional authorizations will be released once Golden Pass has demonstrated full compliance with the conditions of the order,” it said.
Golden Pass said in its request that it will use the same design and procedures for Train 2 that FERC previously approved for Train 1’s commissioning.
Moreover, this NTP request to commission systems in Train 2 includes the flare system, refrigeration system, inlet facilities, condensate stabilization, liquefaction, regen gas system, and other systems, it said.
In May, the Fluxys-operated Zeebrugge LNG import terminal received the first Golden Pass LNG cargo produced from the first liquefaction train.
The Golden Pass LNG export terminal has three liquefaction trains with a total capacity of 18.1 million tons per year, five 155,000 cbm LNG storage tanks, and two marine berths to accommodate the world’s largest LNG carriers.
State-owned QatarEnergy owns a 70 percent stake in the Golden Pass project and will offtake 70 percent of the capacity, while US energy firm ExxonMobil has a 30 percent share.
