FERC Authorization for Jacksonville, Florida LNG Terminal

In January of 2017 Eagle LNG filed an application for authorization to site, construct, and operate a new LNG terminal (Jacksonville Project) on the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida. Yesterday the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission granted Eagle LNG’s requested authorization.

Eagle LNG plans to construct and operate three liquefaction trains, each capable of liquefying approximately 44 million standard cubic feet (MMcf) per day of U.S. produced natural gas.

The project will also include a 45,000-cubic-meter (m3) LNG storage tank, four inlet gas compressors (one at each train and a spare), a boil-off gas compression system, a marine LNG load-out facility and a dock for small and medium-sized LNG carriers (with capacities up to 45,000 m3) and bunkering barges, a LNG and a heavy hydrocarbon truck load-out facility.

Eagle LNG stated in FERC documents it will design the project to be small in scale to support the export of LNG via small- to mid-sized LNG carriers to markets that cannot be served by large LNG carriers such as Caribbean ports. When the project is operating at full production capacity, Eagle LNG estimates that approximately 40 to 100 LNG carriers per year will traverse the St. Johns River. The LNG to be produced by the project is also intended for domestic marine use and LNG bunkering according to FERC documents.

Eagle LNG Partners is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ferus Natural Gas Fuels LP.
