Repsol Gives Up on Plan to Export LNG from St. John, Canada

Last September, Spanish oil and gas drilling giant Repsol, which owns the St. John, New Brunswick (Canada) LNG facility, filed an application with the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) to export up to 300 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of natural gas from the St. John facility (see Repsol Files Application to Export 300 MMcf/d of LNG from Canada). The St. John facility currently imports LNG. Repsol had plans to build an export (liquefaction) facility at the same location. Those hopes are now shattered. Repsol announced it is giving up because it can't build pipelines--either from Western Canada or the Marcellus/Utica region--to reach the facility. There is just too much red tape and resistance from anti-fossil fuel wackos.
