The Broadwater FSRU will be designed to have an onboard LNG storage capacity of up to 350,000 cubic meters
Released Tuesday, December 07, 2004
Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated; Houston, Texas). TransCanada Corporation (NYSE:TRP )(Calgary, Alberta) and Shell U.S. Gas & Power LLC (Houston, Texas), a subsidiary of the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company (NYSE:RD ) (The Hague, Netherlands) are planning to construct a new $700 million offshore LNG receiving terminal in Long Island Sound under the joint venture name of Broadwater Energy LLC (Riverhead, New York). Located approximately nine miles offshore of Riverhead New York, the proposed terminal will have a regasification and natural gas send out capacity of one billion cubic feet per day, or 1.4 percent of the current North American demand. The new terminal will be a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) measuring 1,200 by 180 feet (larger than the U.S. aircraft carrier Enterprise) will be located in approximately 90 feet of water nearly 25 miles from a proposed subsea connection with the existing Iroquois natural gas pipeline system.
Broadwater Energy hopes to file for permitting in early 2005 and begin construction on the new LNG FSRU sometime in 2007, with completion targeted for 2010. The Broadwater project is the third LNG project TransCanada has proposed for the North American market. One of those; the Fairwinds LNG proposal was cancelled. There are now nearly 50 proposed LNG receiving terminals being proposed in North America.
