Did you know? Why momentum is building for small scale LNG plants

The North America LNG Projects tracker evaluates each proposed LNG project globally. We rank each project against seven key criteria that must be reached prior to a final investment decision (FID) being taken: Feedgas availability Development concept & engineering Regulatory approvals Environmental approvals Participation and operator priority Marketing Financing We qualitatively score each project against criteria to assess which projects are making the most progress. In addition, we allow you to cut and slice the data across operator/developer peer group, region, project structure and project size.

Commercial activity surged in the second quarter. Tellurian announced two big deals with Gunvor and Vitol for 3 mmtpa each, and Woodfibre signed a second SPA for 0.75 mmtpa with BP. Binding sales across pre-FID LNG projects in the US Gulf Coast now stand at some 15 mmtpa. Projects in west Canada and Mexico are progressing too. Momentum is building for at least some of this capacity to reach FID. Our North America LNG Projects Update (Q2 2021) has our latest view of which projects we see as possible FIDs in 2021-22 and the key issues to watch.
