Driftwood LNG LLC: Supplement to Application for Long-Term, Multi-Contract Authorization To Export Liquefied Natural Gas to Non-Free Trade Agreement Nations for a 20-Year Period

The Office of Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE) gives notice of receipt of a March 5, 2018 filing by Driftwood LNG LLC (Driftwood LNG), entitled "Supplement to Long-Term Authorization and Application for Long-Term Authorization" (Supplement). Previously, on September 28, 2016, Driftwood LNG filed an application (Application) in this proceeding requesting authorization to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) from its proposed Facility in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, to any country with which the United States does not have a free trade agreement (FTA) requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas, and with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy (non-FTA countries). In relevant part, the Supplement seeks to amend the non-FTA export volume originally requested in the Application. Specifically, Driftwood LNG seeks to decrease its requested export volume to the equivalent of 1,415.3 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas (3.88 Bcf/ day)--which Driftwood LNG states is equivalent to 27.6 million metric tons per annum (mtpa) of LNG based on its conversion factor.
