Shell Asks FERC to Force Venture Global LNG to Release Documents

Shell, one of the contracted customers to receive LNG from Venture Global's Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility, added its voice to BP's request with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to release documents from Venture Global related to an ongoing delay in making the plant commercial. The Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility recently received 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 19+ 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 of their contracted (price-guaranteed) shipments and have sued (see Repsol Joins Shell, BP in Suing Venture Global for Missed LNG).
