The Ukrainian invasion further aggravated the gas supply shortfall, leaving Gulf Coast liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporters scrambling to meet growing European and Asian demand with terminals expanding and new facilities on the boards. The U.S. is the world's largest LNG exporter with most of the capacity concentrated off Louisiana and Texas. On March 1, a fifth export terminal officially joined the ranks as Venture Global LNG of Virginia and Tokyo-based JERA Global Markets Pte. Ltd loaded the first cargo from the fast-tracked Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility in Cameron, La. At total capacity of 10 MTPA, the facility holds the global greenfield speed record, having gone from final investment decision to production in 29 months, according to Venture Global. |
