WHY CALCASIEU PASS & EXPORTING LNG ARE IMPORTANT

Venture Global is a long-term, low-cost producer of American liquefied natural gas. The low-cost strategy is based on using a highly efficient, modular, mid-scale LNG liquefaction technology that lowers capital costs and expands opportunities for North American LNG exports. Calcasieu Pass will provide clean and reliable North American natural gas to global markets.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

  • A 432 acre site with more than a mile of deep-water frontage
  • Eighteen 0.626 MTPA liquefaction trains configured in 9 blocks
  • Three pre-treatment trains,each designed to support approximately 50% of the gas pretreatment needs of the project
  • Two ship loading berths for LNG vessels carrying a capacity of up to 210,000 cubic meters
  • Two 200,000 cubic meter full containment LNG storage tanks
  • 720 MW combined cycle gas turbine power plant, including an additional 25 MW gas-fired aeroderivative turbine
  • A single 42-inch diameter, 24-mile-long lateral pipeline, TransCameron, that extends from interconnection points within the vicinity of Grand Cheniere Station in Cameron Parish, Louisiana

Basis of Design for Each 10 MTPA of Liquefaction Capacity

  • The projects are based on mid-scale liquefaction technology which will consist of two electrically-driven 0.626 MTPA trains in each block, with nine blocks for the entire facility
  • The gas will flow through three trains for acid gas removal and dehydration (pretreatment systems) before it enters the liquefiers. Each pre-treatment train is designed to support approximately 50% of the gas pretreatment needs of the project
  • The LNG will be stored in two 200,000 cubic meter full containment storage tanks. This ample storage capacity allows Venture Global to optimize the plant output
  • Two loading docks allow for greater flexibility and availability in loading the vessels and scheduling safe operations

Combined-Cycle Gas-Turbine Power Plant

As part of our efforts to minimize our overall emissions, we have elected to employ electrically-driven liquefaction technology that is powered by highly efficient combined cycle gas turbines. Our projects are completely air cooled (power, pre-treatment and liquefaction), rather than water cooled.
