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]
