Venture Global LNG Calcasieu Pass Minimal Impact From Hurricane Laura
Aug 28, 2020
Venture Global LNG reported yesterday that its Calcasieu Pass LNG facility under construction in Cameron, Louisiana sustained minimal impacts from Hurricane Laura. The hurricane passed directly over the project site. Venture Global LNG noted a walk-through inspection of most areas of the site following the storm confirmed that the project site’s storm protection systems performed as designed. All employees and contractor personnel are safe and accounted for.
Venture Global is working with its EPC contractor, Kiewit Louisiana Co., to promptly and safely regain access to the project site and supporting facilities, restore utilities to Cameron and the project site, and incrementally support the return to work of craft and Venture Global personnel.
Co-CEO, Co-Chairman and Founders Bob Pender and Mike Sabel jointly stated, “While we are relieved by the minimal impacts to Calcasieu Pass LNG, we are mindful that the surrounding communities of Cameron and Lake Charles have suffered significant damage from this powerful and historic storm. As a company, we will be communicating with local stakeholders in the days and weeks to come to assess how we can support the community’s recovery.”
The 10 MTPA Venture Global Calcasieu Pass facility is under construction at the intersection of the Calcasieu Ship Channel and the Gulf of Mexico.
