The ECA project began construction in 2020 and, once completed and operational, will be able to export up to 0.44 billion ft3/d of natural gas as LNG. A second phase of the project is authorised to export up to 1.74 billion ft3/d and is pending a final investment decision.
“I am pleased that the Department of Energy can take this action to provide this project the time it needs to complete construction and get US-sourced LNG on the water, particularly given its strategic location on the West Coast of North America,” said Kyle Haustveit, Assistant Secretary of the Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office.
