Canadian natural gas to be exported as LNG from Louisiana

Natural gas from Canada may soon be shipped as liquefied natural gas (LNG) to other countries — from an export terminal in Louisiana — Kallanish Energy found.

Cheniere Energy Partners reported last week it had signed an agreement with an unnamed party to take Canadian natural gas for overseas export, Bloomberg reported.

It would be the first Canadian natural gas exported as LNG, the Energy Information Administration said.

The company said it will soon begin taking natural gas from the Montney shale on the Alberta-British Columbia border to its Sabine Pass facility on the Gulf of Mexico. Sabine Pass opened last spring and is sending LNG shipments to other countries. Two trains, or operational lines, are open and four more are planned at the facility.

LNG export terminals have been proposed in western and eastern Canada, but the process is slow and none have yet been built.

“This is a great potential outlet” for Canada, Madeline Jowdy, senior director of global gas and LNG at PIRA Energy Group in New York, told Bloomberg.
