Coastal Bend LNG has chosen EXP as lead environmental consultant for its planned Texas Gulf Coast export facility, a project featuring multiple liquefaction trains, LNG storage tanks, and export infrastructure, with FERC pre-filing expected in 2025.

(P&GJ) — Coastal Bend LNG has appointed EXP as lead environmental consultant for its planned natural gas liquefaction and export facility on the Texas Gulf Coast.

EXP will oversee environmental consulting for the proposed project, which includes multiple liquefaction trains, a cogeneration plant, LNG storage tanks, and export infrastructure.

“As DOE and FERC implement revisions to their NEPA requirements, EXP’s expertise in environmental surveys will be critical to advancing our permitting process most efficiently,” said Carlos R. Guzman, Chief Operating Officer of Coastal Bend LNG. “EXP shares our goal of responsibly developing the Coastal Bend LNG project with benefits to our local communities as well as our end customers.”

Michael Aubele, vice president of environmental and regulatory services at EXP, said, “Our work with Coastal Bend LNG reflects EXP’s commitment to advancing responsible and resilient energy infrastructure in the United States.”

Coastal Bend LNG plans to begin the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) pre-filing process in 2025. The Energy Regulatory practice of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP will review all filings before submission.
