Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Veresen Incorporated's (TSX:VSN) (Calgary, Alberta) Jordan Cove Energy Project and Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline took a major step forward last week when the company filed applications with the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for the proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal in Coos Bay, Oregon, and its pipeline. Industrial Info is tracking $6.29 billion in active projects related to Jordan Cove.
As designed, Jordan Cove would produce up to 7.8 million tonnes of LNG per annum, and the Pacific Connector would supply it with natural gas feedstock from a hub in southern Oregon. The $6 billion first phase of the LNG plant would involve the construction of four trains, each with a capacity of 225 million standard cubic feet per day; four Dresser-Rand engines; and a pair of LNG full-containment storage tanks, each with a capacity of 160,000 cubic meters. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Concurrent with the first phase of the LNG plant would be the construction of a $50 million pretreatment unit, which would process 3.6 billion standard cubic feet per day of natural gas as feedstock. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
The facility would be serviced by Williams Partners LP's (NYSE:WPZ) (Tulsa, Oklahoma) $240 million Pacific Connector Pipeline. The 36-inch-diameter line would originate at a connecting point for the Ruby and Gas Transmission Northwest pipelines near Malin, Oregon, and run 234 miles west to the Jordan Cove plant. It would carry roughly 1 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Kinder Morgan Incorporated's (NYSE:KMI) (Houston, Texas) Ruby Pipeline runs east from Malin to a hub in southwest Wyoming; TransCanada Corporation's (NYSE:TRP) (Calgary, Alberta) Gas Transmission Northwest Pipeline runs northeast from Malin to a hub on the Idaho-Canadian border. The lines have design capacities of 1.5 billion and 2.9 billion cubic feet per day, respectively.
In accordance with the FERC application, Veresen will scrap plans for a 420-megawatt power plant adjacent to the Jordan Cove LNG facility, and it will perform more than 50 route adjustments on the Pacific Connector. The company also will optimize multiple water crossings to minimize environmental impacts via trenchless drilling techniques, according to a press release from Veresen.
Project developers are asking FERC to issue a Draft Environmental Impact Statement in 2018, leading to FERC decisions by the end of that year. This would position the project for a potential final investment decision in 2019 and an in-service date in 2024, according to Veresen.
Veresen and Williams first applied with FERC to construct the Jordan Cove terminal and the Pacific Connector in 2013. In March 2016, FERC denied permission on the grounds that Williams and Veresen failed to demonstrate that the project's benefits would outweigh "adverse effects on landowners." In December, FERC denied Veresen's request for a rehearing. But this summer, Veresen selected KBJ--a joint venture of Kiewit Energy Group Incorporated (Omaha, Nebraska), Black & Veatch Construction Incorporated (Overland Park, Kansas) and JGC Corporation (Yokohama, Japan)--to perform engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services.
