en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Golden Pass LNG joint venture has submitted an application to the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) requesting authorization to begin commissioning systems for the second liquefaction train. The project company, jointly held by QatarEnergy and ExxonMobil, stated in Monday's filing that construction continues to progress, and Train 2 will adopt the same design and procedures approved by FERC during the commissioning of Train 1. The joint venture will submit a separate written authorization request before introducing hazardous fluids into the system.

Golden Pass LNG seeks FERC OK to start commissioning of second train

The NTP request for this commissioning covers the flare system, refrigeration system, inlet facilities, condensate stabilization, liquefaction, regeneration gas system, and other systems. In May, ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods stated that the company expects the second liquefaction train to achieve mechanical completion by the end of this year. Woods noted that Train 3 should reach mechanical completion around the second quarter of next year. In the same month, the Zeebrugge LNG import terminal, operated by Fluxys, received the first Golden Pass LNG cargo produced from Train 1. The Golden Pass LNG export terminal is the 10th such facility in the United States, featuring three liquefaction trains with a total capacity of 18.1 million tonnes per year, five LNG storage tanks of 155,000 cubic meters each, and two marine berths capable of accommodating the world's largest LNG carriers. State-owned QatarEnergy holds a 70% stake in the project and will offtake 70% of the capacity; ExxonMobil holds the remaining 30%. QatarEnergy's LNG and other facilities at Ras Laffan were last attacked in March.
