Tellurian withdraws U.S. application to build Permian natural gas pipeline – 12/2/20

U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) developer Tellurian Inc told federal energy regulators on Tuesday it wants to withdraw its application to build the Permian Global Access natural gas pipeline in Texas and Louisiana.

The filing with the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) comes a day after Tellurian said its President and Chief Executive Meg Gentle will leave the company.

In what has been a tough year for the LNG industry after coronavirus demand destruction caused global energy prices to collapse, Tellurian said in the filing that “current market conditions do not support the economic thresholds to pursue the (Permian pipe) further at this time.”

Tellurian said it “continues to believe that in time the proposed project will provide significant benefits” and it will host a new open season “in the event market conditions rebound and the market needs an additional transportation solution.”

The 625-mile (1,005-km) Permian pipeline was designed to transport up to 2.3 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) of gas from the Permian shale in West Texas and eastern New Mexico to southwest Louisiana near where Tellurian wants to build the Driftwood LNG export plant.

In addition to the Permian pipe, Tellurian has also proposed to build the 4.0-bcfd Driftwood, 2.0-bcfd Haynesville Global Access and 2.0-bcfd Delhi Connector gas pipelines in Louisiana.
