Ambassador joins LNG fracas — Bangor Daily News, Bangor, ME

The Honorable Michael Wilson sent a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission earlier this month expressing his government's concerns about plans to build LNG terminals on the Maine side of Passamaquoddy Bay.

Canadians from Campobello Island, New Brunswick, to Ottawa including the country's Minister of Veteran Affairs Greg Thompson and the Premier of New Brunswick Bernard Lord have come out against the projects.

Now Wilson has joined that group. He was appointed ambassador in March by Canada's newly elected Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: The only remaining question is, "How will the local developers try to save face when their investors tell them to pack up and go home?"

"I think I have the votes in the house and also in the Senate," he said. "We need to get this legislation passed (because) these LNG projects are not going away."

Will Elba expansion affect other commercial shipping? — Savannah Morning News, Savannah, GA

Southern Liquefied Natural Gas wants to double the storage capacity of the Elba terminal, which could eventually double the number of LNG tankers that come into the facility. And that worries [S. "Laks" Lakshman, vice president of commercial operations for Colonial Marine Industries Inc.], whose company represents a number of commercial shipping lines.

"Every time an LNG ship moves, you're shutting down the port and, eventually, commercial lines will start looking for alternative routes."

Lakshman wants to see independent studies done on the impact the expansion will have on commercial river traffic, as well as safety concerns.

"Someone needs to take a look at the worst-case scenario and make sure we're ready to handle it." (Apr 13)

WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: Elba Island's LNG terminal had an "incident" this past March caused by inappropriate terminal siting — a siting safety failure on FERC's part. Colonial Marine Industries has good cause for worry. That's a worried shipping company that deals regularly with the realities of an existing LNG terminal. Yet, Passamaquoddy Bay-area LNG developers want us to believe that their LNG carriers won't have a significant negative affect on local waterway users. Who do you believe?

Gas juggernaut advancing with little opposition [Opinion] — Union, Grass Valley, CA

[W]hat independent studies do exist — from the federal Department of Energy and the state Energy Commission during the days before Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger stacked it with gas industry advocates — indicate that natural gas use in California has been flat and even dropping slightly and that North American sources of gas in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming and Alberta probably could supply all this state would need for the foreseeable future.

U.S. will be told to keep tankers out of Canadian waters: MP — CBC News, Canada

Greg Thompson, who represents the federal riding of New Brunswick Southwest, said he met with Prime Minister Stephen Harper about the issue on Tuesday.

New Brunswick MP [(Member of Parliament)] Greg Thompson called Head Harbour Passage one of the most dangerous in Canada.

He said Harper agreed that huge tankers headed for three proposed new LNG terminals in Maine must be kept out of Passamaquoddy Bay, a picturesque body of water in southern New Brunswick that straddles the U.S. border. [Bold red emphasis added.]

High court mulls BDN case on access to tribal meetings — Bangor Daily News, Bangor,ME

In Great Northern Paper Inc. vs. the Penobscot Nation, the court ruled that when a tribe functions in a municipal capacity and acts or interacts with persons or entities other than its tribal membership, such as the state or federal government, the tribe may be engaged in matters that are not internal tribal matters and subject to the state's open meeting law.

House committee approves bill to restrict LNG tankers — Boston Globe, Boston, MA

A bill to restrict tankers carrying liquefied natural gas as they move through Narragansett Bay is closer to becoming [Rhode Island] law after it received committee approval Wednesday night.

"Federal law very clearly gives Rhode Island the right to say what we think isn't safe in our waters," he said. "It's not safe for LNG tankers filled with highly combustible gas to be in places where they could be exposed, whether by accident or malicious intention, to any kind of fire."

WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: If Rhode Island has the right to say what's safe in its own waters, then Canada certainly has that right.

Court postpones LNG appeal — Jamestown Press, Jamestown, RI

A FERC spokesman said the FERC is holding the case for possible review, but has not decided if it will review the new data. The court has given the FERC until May 22 to report on the review status, with an additional 60 days, for final review before the FERC must submit to the court the application record.

That record is for the approval the FERC gave to Weaver Cove before the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Coast Guard each raised questions about the revised plan.

KeySpan appealing rejection of LNG proposal — Boston Globe, Boston, MA

The company seeking to expand an existing liquefied natural gas terminal in Providence has appealed a decision by federal regulators to reject the project. (Apr 12)

LNG proposal pursued despite community opposition — Dundalk Eagle, Dundalk, MD

Opponents to the proposed liquefied natural gas plant for Sparrows Point refuse to wait: They want their questions answered and their concerns addressed now.

An opposition meeting will be held Saturday, April 22, at 11 a.m. in the North Point Library, 1716 Merritt Blvd. Community members, community association presidents, marina owners and boating association members are among the concerned citizens who will meet to start compiling documentation for FERC that challenges AES's proposal.

WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: As we've seen from the Downeast LNG & Quoddy Bay LLC developers, they'll "weasel" their "studies" to provide glowing result in favor of an LNG import terminal. All studies should be able to withstand scrutiny, including our Whole Bay Study that's currently being done.

Energy companies sign gas-pipeline deal — East Bay Business Times, Pleasanton, CA

Pacific Connector, which will be operated by Williams but owned equally by the three partners, is proposing a 223-mile pipeline that would connect a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, near Coos Bay, Ore., to the Williams Northwest Pipeline system in Oregon, and then tie in to PG&E's gas transmission system near the border of California and Oregon. (Apr 12)

Impact studies urged for LNG sites — Bangor Daily News, Bangor, ME

Fleming suggested there be a two-pronged approach to the FERC analysis: first, that an energy and gas supply and demand needs assessment be conducted. "This assessment should serve as a key determinant in decision-making and in explaining regional need to affected local communities," he said.

Second, he suggested a regional siting approach was needed to determine the specific sites for an LNG import facility "based upon rigorously developed criteria that address both public safety and environmental protection."

In the March 24 viewpoint by Quoddy LNG's lawyer Gordon Grimes titled "Treaty trumps LNG politics," he presents the company's arguments for why the Canadians mustn't block their project. He writes, "Before Canada can block LNG tankers it will have to overcome this presumptive right and demonstrate that LNG ships somehow present a risk to the 'peace, good order or security' of Canada."

Most people involved in issues related to LNG are familiar with the findings of the government-commissioned Sandia report titled, "Guidance on Risk Analysis and Safety Implications of a Large Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Spill Over Water." Canada need not look any farther than that report and a chart of Passamaquoddy Bay to appreciate the risks this project poses to its citizens on Campobello and Deer Island.

Johnson chides Senate on LNG action — Gazette, Gaithersburg, MD

"I am standing firm in my commitment to do everything possible to ensure that liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities are not placed in the county’s densely-populated neighborhoods or near critical transportation infrastructure," Johnson said in a statement. (Apr 10)

Legislation Aimed at WGL Storage Tank Proposal Dies in Committee — LNG Law Blog; Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan; Washington, DC

The Washington Post today reports that Maryland HB 927, the bill that potentially would have prohibited the construction of an LNG facility in densely populated areas of Prince George’s County, Md., died in the Finance Committee before the state's General Assembly adjourned for the season last night.

Southern LNG Seeks to Expand Elba Island Facility — WTOC, Savannah, GA

Southern LNG wants to add 400,000 cubic meters of storage and make room for larger ships to deliver the LNG.

"We're always concerned about the public input on any kind of expansion on the waterways, whether it be a large-scale LNG facility or a small-scale marina," said Lt. Andy Meyers with the Coast Guard. "There's always going to be an opportunity for the public to comment."

WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: Elba Island's LNG terminal just had an "incident" in March, where an offloading LNG tanker broke away from the pier and LNG pipeline connection, due to wake from another vessel in the channel. FERC stated that they had located the terminal there in order to prevent hazardous wake events from affecting offloading LNG tankers — precautions that obviously were misplaced!

The Elba Island LNG terminal location violates LNG-industry best practices standards, as defined by the Society of Gas Terminal and Tanker Operators (SIGTTO), and should never have been built. To allow expansion at this same location, ignoring SIGTTO standards, is begging for LNG accidents.

In 2004, the general manager of SIGTTO offered any assistance that SIGTTO could provide to the FERC. It appears that, so far, the FERC is ignoring that offer. When is the FERC going to protect U.S. citizens, marine traffic, and U.S. energy security by adopting SIGTTO best practices standards? Hopefully, the FERC will come to its senses before there's a catastrophic LNG "incident" that results in loss of life.

LNG pipeline officials allay most worries — Facts, Clute, TX

Once completed in November, the $40 million, 42-inch-thick pipe eventually will stretch 9.6 miles from the Freeport LNG terminal in Quintana to a pipeline nexus on Stratton Ridge Road. Portions of the route will be near some residential areas in Freeport and Surfside Beach, but with a minimum buffer zone of 75 feet, Henry said.

Still, 75 feet doesn’t seem like enough room for Bridge Harbor-area resident James Pirrung, whose home is a couple blocks from the pipeline.

While in the Navy during the mid-1940s, Pirrung was called to help clean up the mess in Cleveland, Ohio, when an East Ohio Natural Gas Co. liquefied natural gas tank exploded, killing hundreds.

“You don’t forget something like that,” he said, adding he’s worked with liquid nitrogen and oxygen before. “I’ve been in cryogenics, anyway, and I know you have to be careful and bad things can happen.” [Bold emphasis added.] (Apr 7)

The Gulf bill is vehemently opposed by Florida's senators, who worry drilling even 100 miles from the state's shore could hurt tourism or interrupt offshore military exercises.

Debate on the legislation could force the Senate into a broader discussion about offshore drilling and federal royalty sharing, which Gulf Coast lawmakers are demanding to restore coasts they say have been eroded by energy production. (Apr 5)

FERC scoping sessions on Quoddy Bay LNG held in Pleasant Point and Perry — WQDY-FM, Calais, ME

"Without question, we believe LNG has wound up DownEast because the ability of communities between New York City and the Bay of Fundy to utilize a financial resource as a way to circumvent the FERC process. Because of this, we have serious concern about our ability to truly have expert testimony provided, challenged and sorted through. After all it's noted, that is why it has ultimately wound up here, at the path of least resistance," Finch said. [Bold red emphasis added.]

...at Thursday's meeting in Perry, the majority of speakers opposed the project. Some raised procedural issues with regard to the FERC process, while others addressed seismic and navigational safety.

Canada labels LNG 'dangerous cargo' — Bangor Daily News, Bangor, ME

WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: This Canadian Press story is the same story published on Mar 31, and included on this site on Apr 1.

"Our position is that LNG is dangerous cargo," Thompson said during a visit to Fredericton to announce innovation funding from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.

Dominion Cove Point accuses Washington Gas of 'patent delay tactic' — SNL, Charlottesville, VA

Washington Gas Light Co. has asked FERC for additional time to respond to the commission's questions about leaks on its distribution system, which the gas utility contends are related to the quality of natural gas delivered into its distribution system from the Cove Point LNG import terminal in Maryland.

(BW) Cheniere LNG marketing and Scottish Power's PPM Energy enter into 10-yr. gas purchase and sale agreement [Press Release] — Houston Chronicle, Houston, TX

Upon completion of certain facilities, the agreement gives Cheniere LNG Marketing the ability to sell to PPM up to 600,000 MMBtus of natural gas per day at a Henry Hub related market index price, and calls for Cheniere to allocate to PPM a portion of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) that it procures under certain long-term LNG supply agreements.

Hess LNG admits faults — Herald News, Fall River, MA

"We accept that the combination of these sets of conservative inputs, while demonstrating the maneuver is feasible, does not demonstrate it is repeatable on a safe and consistent basis," Shearer said.

Weaver's Cove offers smaller vessel plan for LNG shipments — Times-Standard, New Bedford, MA

Weaver's March 27 letter does not specify the exact dimensions of the smaller vessel in its newest proposal, but its language is directly aimed at defusing the Coast Guard's concerns about the maneuver between the bridges, which entails tugs having to stop a moving tanker after it clears the old bridge and then moving the vessel laterally before approaching the opening of the new bridge. [Bold emphasis added.]

FERC agrees to review revised plans for LNG port — Jamestown Press, Jamestown, RI

The U.S. Coast Guard said the LNG tankers might not safely pass between the old and new Brightman Street bridges, or would require extraordinary maneuvers to do so.

The petitioners said Weaver Cove tried "to belittle" the significance of the new maneuvers that would be required, and they said the new maneuvers would "increase both security and navigational challenges."

Weaver's Cove Alleges Fall River Not Cooperating on ERP — LNG Law Blog; Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan; Washington, DC

In a March 30 letter from Weaver's Cove to Fall River's Mayor Edward Lambert, Weaver's Cove alleges that Fall River is refusing to participate in the emergency response planning (ERP) process mandated by FERC's recent approval of the Weaver's Cove LNG terminal. (Apr 5)

Question may no longer be whether LNG, but when? [Opinion] — Ventura County Star, Ventura, CA

What independent studies [that] do exist indicate that natural-gas use in California has been flat and even dropping slightly and that North American sources of gas in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming and Alberta probably could supply all this state would need for the foreseeable future.

State officials chose to focus instead on one study funded by Sempra Energy, the San Diego-based firm that owns San Diego Gas & Electric Co. and the Southern California Gas Co. Not surprisingly, the Sempra-funded study concluded California will need LNG and Sempra will likely be the first to provide it. How reliable is Sempra's analysis? Some say it's good, others say no.

Only rarely has California seen such massive support for an unproven new scheme.

Is more natural gas needed? — CBC Montreal, Montreal, QC

"At this point in time I would not necessarily characterize the construction of new LNG facilities in Canada as being essential," says Robert Dixon of the U.S. department of energy.

Dixon says there are existing facilities in the U.S. that are not working at full capacity. (2005 Mar 4)

WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: A revealing perspective from a year ago.

Jacques Levasseur, president of APPEL (Association pour la protection de l'environnement de Lévis), a group opposed to the project, said he and other opponents have been requesting such a meeting for months. He said he hopes the assessment agency's recommendation will encourage the company to meet with them.

The projected increase in construction of LNG tankers over the next five years has the shipping industry concerned about the dwindling number of officers and crew qualified to operate LNG vessels. (Apr 5)

FERC to hear public comment on LNG plans — Bangor Daily News, Bangor, ME

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staffers will be on the reservation tonight and in Perry on Thursday to hear comments on a proposed $500 million liquefied natural gas facility at Split Rock.

WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: Will the "hurry-up, because the FERC only allows one year for this process, so we'll build a floating bridge" Brianized Smithification that was made to the Eastport's City Council be mentioned?

Calypso pipeline owners change course — Miami Herald, Miami, FL

Instead of using a port on Grand Bahama Island, where a plant would pump the gas under the Gulf Stream to Fort Lauderdale, the Calypso owners now propose a ''deep water port'' 10 miles off Port Everglades, where ships would dock by buoys and pump the gas to Florida.

Coast Guard, FBI Tension Threatens Sea-Based Response — NBC

Disagreements over the roles the two agencies should take in responding to a maritime terrorism threat or attack come as intelligence analysts continue to believe that al-Qaida and other terror groups are likely to launch attacks on ports, warships, cruise ships or ferries, said Justice Department Inspector General Glenn A. Fine.

Proposed Critical Infrastructure Bill May Prevent Foreign Investment in U.S. LNG Market — LNG Law Blog; Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan LLP; Washington, DC

In a letter to U.S. Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.), the president of the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America has expressed concern that H.R. 4881, a bill that would bar foreign ownership and control of  "national defense critical infrastructure" in the United States, may preclude capital investment opportunities in natural gas pipelines and LNG terminals in North America.

WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: On the other hand, U.S. LNG facility owners and operators — as admitted to be allowable by FERC officials at public meetings in the Quoddy area — could be Osama bin-Laden and Charles Manson.

Perhaps Congressman Hastert should be working on improving FERC rules before criticizing H.R. 4481.

Alaska, Canada gas pipelines could provide only short price break — CBC News, Canada

[T]he effect of all that additional gas would probably mean just a temporary dip in consumer prices — 25 to 50 cents US per thousand cubic feet — and would last just six months to a year before prices level out, said Alaska Natural Resources Commissioner Mike Menge. (Apr 3)

New LNG project under evaluation for Southern California coast — SNL, Charlottesville, VA

Esperanza Energy LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Texas-based Tidelands Oil & Gas Corp., announced April 4 that it is evaluating the potential for building an offshore LNG receiving terminal off the coast of Southern California. Although details of the size, site and cost of the project were not available, the company said it is looking at several sites up to 12 miles offshore from Long Beach, Calif.

Gazprom Marketing & Trading Ltd. to Open Houston Office — LNG Express, Houston, TX

Gazprom wants to integrate downstream in the value chain, from the production of natural gas, to liquefaction, transportation and regasification, Hattenberger said. Gazprom has also set a goal of achieving a 10% market share in the US by 2010.

WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: As indicated in this article, Gazprom, Russia's gas monopoly, is pursuing owning LNG facilities in the U.S. They've previously included in their "wants" list, Dominion Cove Point LNG terminal in Maryland, the terminal that Dean Girdis of Downeast LNG wants to emulate.

If the the U.S. government is concerned about energy security, as it says it is, then it should keep LNG import facilities in friendly hands, instead of fostering FERC's official and irresponsible apathy regarding the character of LNG facility owners. FERC representatives, speaking in the Quoddy area, have publicly indicated that persons the likes of Idi Amin, Charles Manson, Adolph Hitler, and Osama bin-Laden could own U.S. LNG facilities, and that wouldn't affect FERC's decision-making regarding permitting their LNG projects!

Just as with the foreign-operated ports scandal that newscaster Lou Dobbs has been dogging lately, to allow LNG facilities to be controlled by powerful foreign monopolies — some of whom may have political or idealogical axes to grind — is a mighty wreckless way of maintaining U.S. energy security — or security, in general.

The most salient point to take from the DOE report is that the longer we wait to wean our economy off oil [and gas], the more difficult it will be to mitigate the devastating economic effects of a seriously diminished supply of oil. Waiting for oil companies to make the needed investments won't prepare the country for the event, and waiting too long could wreck the global economy.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 did not articulate a policy at all, but rather passed out federal dollars to a wide variety of energy producers, including those making renewables. That's not a long-term recipe for success. A debate needs to begin now on how to address the problems peak oil will bring to the U.S. and to the rest of the world. Environmental protection will play a big role in that debate, with one side wanting to poke holes in every available acre of land, on- and offshore, and the other wanting no drilling at all. The U.S. can not rely on the private sector and the free market to solve these problems.

The debate must include more than oil company executives and specialists; they know a lot and their expertise needs to be included. But they are not disinterested parties; and besides, they haven't proved to be very original thinkers. [Bold emphasis added.]

Local LNG different from U.S. projects: MP — Telegraph-Journal, St. John, NB [Paid subscription required]

Saint John-area project doesn't pose same shipping risks as Passamaquoddy terminals: Thompson

While the Conservative government has made it clear to U.S. companies they will not be able to bring LNG tankers through Head Harbour, considered internal Canadian waters, Mr. Thompson said he's never said he favoured banning the transport of all liquefied natural gas through Canadian waterways. [Bold red emphasis added.]

N.B. minister in federal cabinet says Ottawa considers LNG dangerous cargo — CFRB Radio, Toronto, ON

Veterans Affairs Minister Greg Thompson said Friday the federal Conservative government has made it clear to U.S. companies they will not be able to bring large LNG tankers through Canadian waters off the New Brunswick coast. [This is the same story that has been published previously elsewhere in the Canadian press.]

Fall River Mayor Edward M. Lambert Jr. talked to the dozens of people in attendance about the ongoing battle to keep Hess LNG from building an LNG import facility in Fall River, while former CIA Director R. James Woolsey spoke about winning the war on terror by reducing America’s dependence on foreign oil.

Sabine Pass LNG is under construction and expected to be operational in early 2008 with an initial rated capacity of 2.6 bcfd, which would be boosted in 2009 to 4 bcfd.

Cheniere said its terminal and pipelines groups plan to spend about $3 billion over 5 years to bring online the Sabine Pass terminal and two other LNG receiving terminals and associated pipelines in Texas and Louisiana (OGJ, Apr. 3, 2006, p. 20).

In a first-quarter trading statement, exploration and production group BG said its profits will be higher than previously thought and that earnings from its LNG operations will be more than double the expected figure.

Almost two-thirds of the 40 cargoes it carried in the quarter were bound for the US, where BG co-owns the giant Lake Charles LNG terminal in the Gulf of Mexico.

WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: This story exemplifies the folly of the U.S. Energy Act of 2005, that provides — at the expense of U.S. taxpayers — unnecessary financial help for giant, powerful, and rich energy companies like BG.

Canada to Ban LNG Ships in Nation's Waters, Canadian Press Says — Bloomberg.com

Canada plans to prohibit U.S. owners of liquefied natural-gas terminals in Maine from using waters off New Brunswick to bring large LNG tankers into their plants, Canadian Press reported, citing a member of the federal Cabinet.

WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: It's more clear now than ever that the proposed LNG projects in Passamaquoddy Bay will never be built. Even without Canada's objections, LNG industry analysts have indicated that the three local proposals aren't needed and don't have a chance. With the Canadian roadblock — even in the unlikely event that the developers were to prevail in the Canadian and international courts — these projects would be delayed by years, making their use obsolete.

Faulty LNG analysis [Letter to the editor] — Bangor Daily News, Bangor, ME

The danger is that this faulty analysis will mislead people into acting against their own best interests. A more likely outcome for Perry would be a modest initial drop in property taxes followed by a sharp increase as the cost of accommodating the facility swells the town's operating budget to many times its current level.

N.B. minister in federal cabinet says Ottawa considers LNG dangerous cargo — Canadian Press (CP)

New Brunswick's senior minister in the federal cabinet says Ottawa views liquefied natural gas as dangerous cargo that can be banned from transport in Canadian waters.

"That is why (LNG terminals) have been turned down by just about every jurisdiction on the East Coast of the United States. All of those communities and states have said no simply because they view it as dangerous cargo."

Thompson, Conservative MP for New Brunswick Southwest, said Ottawa is prepared to fight the LNG proposals all the way to international court, if necessary. (Mar 31)

Russian gas monopolist, Gazprom, intends to join forces with key players on the market of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for operations in the North American LNG market and open an office in Houston, Texas, according to John Hattenberger, director for LNG at Gazprom Marketing & Trading Ltd, a subsidiary registered in Great Britain. He said the company is establishing partner relations with a number of major players in this field. Gazprom intends to participate in all stages of this work, he said.

WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: The Russian gas monopoly Gazprom wants to own the Cove Point, Maryland, LNG terminal — the terminal that Dean Girdis of Downeast LNG wants to emulate.
