GRAND ISLE, Louisiana – Grand Isle LNG has announced plans for a new offshore LNG export facility that, if approved, would start making deliveries in 2026.
The proposed LNG port would have a platform-based modular design. Its pipeline access and nearshore location would result in one of the least expensive and safest operations on the market, Grand Isle LNG says.
Located in federal waters of the West Delta blocks in depths ranging from 68 to 72 feet, construction of the facility is planned in two phases. When complete, the plant will consist of a crew quarters platform, two gas treatment platforms, two 2.1 million tons per annum-MTPA liquefaction platforms, two loading platforms, one thermal oxidizer platform, and two 155,000 cubic meter storage and offloading vessels.
Grand Isle LNG says that because the port licensing application will be sanctioned by MARAD, it will go through a rigorous and comprehensive review by numerous federal and state agencies that will ensure the planned facility is compliant with all environmental and safety requirements.
