Northern Star LNG Begins Development of New West Coast LNG Terminal Proposal

---

Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated; Houston, Texas). Northern Star LNG (Portland, Oregon) is proposing to construct a new LNG receiving and regasification terminal in the Pacific Northwest. The new LNG terminal will be located 38 miles from the Pacific Coast, on the Columbia River, three miles west of Clifton, Oregon, on a 450-acre site. If constructed, the Bradwood LNG terminal would have a daily LNG-to-natural gas regasification capacity of approximately one billion cubic feet.

The Bradwood project will have 330,000 cubic meters of LNG storage capacity, evenly divided between two large cryogenic LNG storage tanks. A 35-mile, 36-inch diameter, 1.5-billion-cubic-foot-per-day capacity natural gas pipeline will be constructed from the tail end of the terminal to interconnect with the existing gas pipeline grid. The pipeline will be sized larger than the proposed LNG terminal, to allow for a future expansion of the terminal.

Northern Star LNG has retained the services of IBC Limited for environmental and engineering project management services for the FERC filing phase of the Bradwood project. Northern Star expects to begin the FERC pre-filing phase for the $520 million project in the second quarter of 2005 and expects the filing process will take at least two years to complete. All things going well, construction on the LNG terminal proposal could begin as early as the third quarter of 2007, with an in-service date targeted for late 2010.

This last entry into the LNG terminal foray brings the total number of new LNG receiving terminals being proposed to fifty, not including the proposed and ongoing expansions at existing LNG terminals in North America.
