Corpus Christi LNG Train 7 Cleared to Introduce Fuel Gas by FERC

FERC has authorized Corpus Christi Liquefaction to introduce fuel gas and hot oil into Midscale Train 7, marking another commissioning milestone for Cheniere's Stage 3 LNG expansion in Texas.

(Reuters) — A U.S. energy regulator on July 17 approved Corpus Christi Liquefaction's (CCL) request to introduce fuel gas and hot oil into Midscale Train 7, a further step toward getting the last train of the company's Stage 3 Project into service.

The Stage 3 expansion of U.S. liquefied natural gas company Cheniere Energy's Corpus Christi LNG export plant in Texas consists of seven midscale liquefaction trains designed to add over 10 million tons of production capacity per year.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission added that CCL must comply with all applicable remaining terms and conditions, as well as procedures stipulated in its previous filings.

The approval does not grant CCL the authority to construct, commission, or introduce hazardous fluids to other project facilities at the LNG terminal, the U.S. regulator said.
