Gulfstream LNG Terminal Project
Gulfstream LNG plans to construct a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility with gas processing facilities, 3 LNG trains, 1 LNG storage tank, 2 marine loading births, and 1 on-site power generation plant. These facilities would all be located in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. The Project could export up to 4 million tonnes per year of LNG.
The Project would be constructed and located on an approximately 418-acre parcel of land adjacent to the Mississippi River.
According to Gulfstream LNG, the Project would process treated pipeline gas sourced from the U.S. natural gas pipeline network into LNG for export. Gulfstream LNG also intends to sell LNG and associated extracted natural gas liquids to domestic customers at the facility and marine port.
