CP Express Pipeline
| Part of the Global Gas Infrastructure Tracker, a Global Energy Monitor project. |
CP Express Pipeline is a natural gas pipeline under construction in Louisiana and Texas, USA.[1]
Location
The CP Express Pipeline would connect the proposed CP2 LNG Terminal in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, USA, to Jasper County, Texas, USA.[1][2][3]
Project Details
- Operator: Venture Global CP2 LNG LLC; Venture Global CP Express LLC[1]
- Owner: Venture Global LNG
- Parent company: Venture Global LNG[1]
- Capacity: 4000 MMcf/d[4]
- Diameter: 24 inches (5.5 miles), 48 inches (87.5 miles)[1]
- Length: 91.4 miles[1]
- Status: Construction[1]
- Start year: 2027[4]
Background
The pipeline and associated LNG terminal were proposed in 2021. Construction was expected to occur in two phases, with Phase I including the CP Express Pipeline. With appropriate approval, construction was expected to begin in 2023.[1] Phase I commercial operations at the CP2 LNG Terminal were expected to be achieved by mid-2026.[2]
In December 2021, Venture Global submitted an application to FERC for authorization to build and maintain the CP Express Pipeline and CP2 LNG Terminal.[5]
EIA data suggests the project will be built in two phases, with the pipeline and 1800 MMcf/d capacity built in Phase 1 (operational by 2024), and the remaining capacity added by 2026. As of March 2023, the developer had applied for FERC approval.[4]
In July 2022, FERC had suspended the environmental review process of the project citing that Venture Global LNG failed to provide necessary data.[6][7]
In January 2023, FERC prepared a draft Environmental Impact Statement for the project.[8]
In July 2023, the pipeline and associated terminal received a final environmental impact assessment report from FERC, a regulatory milestone that edges the projects closer to the start of construction later in 2023.[9][10]
In July 2025, Venture Global announced FID and financial close on the CP Express Pipeline, and both phases were considered under construction by the EIA, with a pushed back start date of 2027.[4]
