Background

Port Pelican LNG Terminal was a proposed LNG terminal in Louisiana, United States. In October of 2005, the Oil Daily reported that the US Coast Guard announced that Chevron, the project's parent company, ceased plans to build the onshore fabrication facility for the Port Pelican project. Though the reasons for Port Pelican's cancellation are unclear, the United States Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration categorized Port Pelican as a once-approved LNG terminal, though its license was surrendered.
