Development milestones show Gulf Coast projects progress, and Williams has responded to Energy Transfer's FERC petition to show cause.
What’s the issue?
The LNG buildout in the Gulf region, including Texas and Louisiana intrastate pipelines, is underway. Tracking progress on these projects is difficult: LNG terminals are complex and project filings at FERC are often redacted, while intrastate pipelines lack a centralized repository for filings. Both can face complex litigation.
Why does it matter?
As demand for LNG exports rises, much of it will be met by these hard-to-track projects. To make informed decisions, stakeholders need thorough historical data, expert insights, and an understanding of permitting, regulations, and litigation.
What’s our view?
The Arbo team offers advanced competitive intelligence on LNG projects by monitoring ten key FERC orders that usually follow a specific pattern. Recently, FERC issued two such orders for LNG projects. For intrastate pipelines, we gather state-level data from various sources, such as hydrostatic testing permits, land acquisitions, and air permits, to track progress. Many of these projects have shown recent advancement. Additionally, a recent filing by Louisiana Energy Gateway, LLC (LEG) at FERC is the latest chapter in a litigious saga with implications for all intrastate gathering pipelines.
