BP Asks FERC to Force Venture Global LNG to Release Documents

Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility recently received Federal Energy Regulatory Committee (FERC) authorization to place the final three liquefaction blocks (7-9) into service (see Venture Global Gets FERC OK to Commission 3 Calcasieu Pass Trains). The other trains, 1-6, have been online for 18 months but are not officially in commercial service, even though the facility has now shipped over 200 cargoes! Venture Global claims it’s still working out the kinks. Venture’s contracted customers are frustrated that they aren’t getting any shipments and have sued (see Repsol Joins Shell, BP in Suing Venture Global for Missed LNG). Venture’s customers also asked the EU-US Task Force on Energy Security to get involved and force Venture Global to begin shipments to its contracted customers (see Europe Turns Up Pressure on Venture Global LNG for Not-Ready Farce). BP is turning up the heat even more, asking FERC to force Venture Global to share documents related to the ongoing delays.
