Australia Is the Future of Gas, and Always Will Be
You can build a lot in 75 years. The Great Pyramid took about 25 years to be finished. The Byzantine cathedral of Hagia Sofia, roughly five. The Apollo Space Program put a man on the moon in less than a decade. Exporting gas from the tropical waters northwest of Australia is proving to be a lot harder.

Regulator OKs some construction at Louisiana gas export terminal
The developer of a large gas export terminal in Louisiana can move ahead with a limited set of construction activities, federal regulators said Friday, a week after they reaffirmed the project's authorization. Venture Global can proceed with a handful of activities tied to the company's CP2 LNG project planned in the southwest part of the state, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said in a brief letter signed by an official in the agency's gas branch. Those activities include the construction of temporary facilities, like access roads and parking areas, as well as site preparation and the installation of water wells, the letter said. Advertisement The approval, or 'limited notice to proceed with construction,' does not give CP2 'the authority to construct other project facilities at the LNG terminal,' it continued. A separate letter from the commission's LNG branch, also issued Friday, said Venture Global could start on construction activities tied to a storm surge wall.

FERC advances contentious Louisiana gas project
A large gas export terminal proposed for southwest Louisiana won't lead to a significant change in pollution, federal regulators said Friday. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission — echoing its own findings from earlier this year — issued its determination in a new final supplemental environmental review for Venture Global's planned CP2 facility. The project intends to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) out of Louisiana's Cameron Parish. Commission staff said the CP2 project would have 'significant adverse effects on the visual resources of the surrounding areas.' But staff also said the terminal and an associated compressor station wouldn't cause 'significant cumulative air quality impacts.' Advertisement The commission's staff came to the same conclusion in February, when FERC issued the draft version of the document released Friday. The agency redid its analysis of CP2's nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter emissions after FERC in November set aside part of its order authorizing the CP2 project.
