BHP Billiton plans LA gas terminal
BHP Billiton has announced plans to build a gas terminal off the coast of Los Angeles as a means of combating the states growing energy shortage. The so-called Cabrillo Port, which will cost $600m to build, will commence operations by 2009. The facility will have the capability of supplying 1.5 billion cu feet of gas per day, although will initially be limited to 800m cu feet a day, which is the equivalent of 15% of Californias total daily needs.
