Being developed by Delfin LNG, the port will be located around 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana and will receive natural gas from the Delfin offshore pipeline.<\/p>\n
\u201cDelfin is excited that we have been able to develop a strong relationship with Bechtel because we could not think of a stronger partner nor a better management and project execution team to entrust with the performance of our FEED activities,\u201d said Frederick Jones, founder, Delfin LNG.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur team is looking forward to working with Delfin LNG to deliver another first in the US \u2013 a world-class FLNGV,\u201d added Jack Futcher, president, oil and gas business unit, Bechtel.<\/p>\n
The FLNGV will be able to disconnect from the port facility and move to protected waters during a hurricane, while Delfin LNG says the offshore location of the port will significantly reduce coastal LNG carrier traffic and minimise near-shore environmental impacts.<\/p>\n
Bechtel is responsible for about a third of the world\u2019s LNG liquefaction capacity under construction today, including four projects in Australia and the first LNG export facility in the United States, Cheniere\u2019s Sabine Pass Liquefaction project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
