石油设备网讯 据路透社报道，周五，美国能源监管机构发布了一份最终的环境报告后，全球风投LNG公司（Venture Global LNG）位于路易斯安那州的Plaquemines液化天然气出口终端在获得联邦政府批准建造方面又向前迈出了一步。
在这份被称为环境影响说明的报告中，联邦能源管理委员会（FERC）的工作人员得出结论，该项目的建设和运营将会对环境造成一些不利影响，但是，如果该公司遵循报告草案中的建议，这些影响不会很大。
全球风投LNG公司在其网站上表示，它预计将在8月份收到FERC的决定，并获得美国能源部的授权，允许它在2019年晚些时候向非自由贸易协定国家出口液化天然气。
这将使该公司做出最终的投资决定，并于2019年底开工建设，预计2022年年底将首次生产液化天然气。
Plaquemines是美国、加拿大和墨西哥正在开发的三十多个液化天然气出口项目中的一个。分析人士表示，他们预计，在未来5年左右，这些设施中只有少数能够建成。
该公司正在开发的Plaquemines年产能约2000万吨液化天然气，相当于每天约27亿立方英尺天然气。（注:10亿立方英尺的天然气足够每天为500万户美国家庭提供燃料)
全球风投LNG公司在路易斯安那州还有另外两个液化天然气出口项目。其中，已经对建造其年产能为1000万吨液化天然气的Calcasieu Pass设施做出最终投资决定，并预计在2022年投入使用；与此同时，该公司正在开发年产能为2400万吨液化天然气的Delta项目，计划在2023年启动。
该公司表示，其液化系统将使用通用电气贝克休斯公司的技术。
全球风投LNG公司表示，希望从其设备中购买天然气的公司包括荷兰皇家壳牌(Shell)、意大利爱迪生公司(Edison)、葡萄牙Galp能源公司、英国石油公司（BP）、西班牙雷普索尔（Repsol）和波兰PGNiG。

Venture Global's Louisiana LNG plant passes environmental test
Venture Global’s Plaquemines liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal in Louisiana took a step toward receiving federal approval for construction on Friday after U.S. energy regulators issued a final environmental report.
In the report, known as an environmental impact statement, staff at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) concluded that construction and operation of the project would result in some adverse environmental impacts, but those would be reduced to less-than-significant levels with mitigation.
Venture Global said on its website that it expects to receive that FERC decision in August and authorization from the U.S. Department of Energy allowing it to export LNG to non-Free Trade Agreement (FTA) countries in late 2019.
That will allow the company to make a final investment decision and start construction in late 2019 with first LNG expected in late 2022.
Plaquemines is one of more than three dozen LNG export projects under development in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Analysts have said that they expect only a handful of those facilities to get built over the next five years or so.
The company is developing Plaquemines to produce about 20 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG, equal to about 2.7 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) of natural gas. One billion cubic feet is enough gas to fuel about 5 million U.S. homes for a day.
Venture Global has two other LNG export projects in Louisiana. It has already made a final investment decision to build its 10-MTPA Calcasieu Pass facility, which it expects to enter service in 2022, and is developing the 24-MTPA Delta project, slated to start up in 2023.
The company said its liquefaction systems will use technology from General Electric Co’s Baker Hughes unit.
Venture Global said companies looking to buy gas from its facilities include units of Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Edison SpA, Galp Energia SGPS SA, BP Plc, Repsol SA and Polish Oil and Gas Co (PGNiG).
