Texas LNG Brownsville LLC is pleased to announce that it has submitted all thirteen draft Resource Reports to the FERC, a key accomplishment in the mandatory US Government regulatory approval process. Completion of this milestone places Texas LNG within a select group of US LNG export projects and demonstrates steady progress towards Final Investment Decision (“FID”).
In addition, Honeywell has entered into a Master Framework Alliance Agreement with Texas LNG to provide state of the art technology solutions in gas pre-treatment and automation & controls.
Submission of Draft Resource Reports to the FERC
The thirteen draft Resource Reports cover a wide range of environmental, engineering, reliability, and safety aspects of the proposed Texas LNG Project and represent the culmination of over 200,000 man-hours of effort by Texas LNG and its technical, environmental and legal advisers.
Following review of the draft documents and a series of expected information requests from FERC, Texas LNG anticipates grant of filing status to Texas LNG and submission of its formal application in early 2016. Submission of the draft Resource Reports is an important milestone in Texas LNG’s plan to receive the permits and approvals to commence construction of its LNG export facility in 1H 2017. Texas LNG remains on track to delivering first shipments of LNG in 2020.
Honeywell Master Framework Alliance Agreement
Texas LNG has executed a Master Framework Alliance Agreement with Honeywell to provide gas pre-treatment and automation & control technology. Texas LNG will use Honeywell UOP’s Amine Guard™ FS process to reduce acid gas to very low levels and its proprietary adsorbents to remove water, mercury and sulfur from the natural gas, which is necessary for natural gas liquefaction and LNG transport.
Honeywell also will serve as the integrated main automation & controls contractor. In this role, Honeywell is responsible for designing and delivering (with installation support), the automation, instrumentation, process and safety controls, telecommunications and security, production management systems, and advanced planning and scheduling applications. Honeywell also is assisting Texas LNG with its front end engineering and design (“FEED”) which is a key input in Texas LNG’s FERC application.
Honeywell joins the growing Texas LNG team which includes leading financial, technical, environmental and legal partners including BNP Paribas, Third Point LLC, Samsung Engineering, Air Products, Braemar Engineering, NRG, PSI, K&L Gates, GreenbergTraurig, Royston Rayzor, and others.
