CORRECTING and REPLACING Tellurian’s Driftwood LNG Receives Authorization for LNG Exports
In the second paragraph of release, Rick Perry's title should be U.S.
Secretary of Energy (instead of U.S. Secretary of State).
The corrected release reads:
TELLURIAN’S DRIFTWOOD LNG RECEIVES AUTHORIZATION FOR LNG EXPORTS
Tellurian (NASDAQ: TELL) announced today that the United States (U.S.)
Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy has issued the
long-term authorization for Driftwood LNG to export domestically
produced liquefied natural gas from its proposed export facility to
non-free trade agreement countries.
U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry said, “I am pleased to announce the
order signed today authorizing Driftwood, owned by Tellurian Inc., to
export up to 3.88 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas as LNG, to
any country that does not have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the
United States. The United States is now in its third consecutive year as
a net exporter of natural gas, now exporting domestic LNG to 35
countries. I applaud the American private sector for continuing to reach
new milestones and look forward to continued growth in this sector.”
“Tellurian thanks the U.S. Administration, Secretary Perry and the DOE
staff for their diligence in authorizing this order that is crucial to
global LNG trade. The U.S. will become a top three LNG exporter and
Tellurian intends to do our part in creating U.S. jobs while delivering
a cleaner energy supply source to the world,” said Tellurian President
and CEO Meg Gentle.
On April 18, 2019, Tellurian completed another regulatory milestone as
the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order
granting authorization for Driftwood LNG, a proposed ~27.6 million
tonnes per annum (mtpa) liquefaction export facility near Lake Charles,
Louisiana, and the associated Driftwood pipeline, a 96-mile proposed
pipeline connecting to the facility (collectively, the Driftwood
project).
