Background

In December 2018 a joint venture between CNOOC and Phoenix Petroleum received a Notice To Proceed (NTP) from the Philippine Department of Energy (DOE) to build a 2.2-mtpa LNG terminal near Batangas.[5] In January 2019 it was reported that the joint venture was deciding between two locations for the project, a site formerly used by Chevron (Caltex) in San Pascual, Batangas, and a former project site of AG&P in Anilao, Batangas.[5]

In June 2019 the NTP expired with CNOOC and Phoenix Petroleum claiming they had filed for an extension, but the DOE stated that no such application had been received.[6] In December 2019 the project's backers announced that they were putting the project on hold.[7]

In January 2021, the DOE cancelled the application, saying the sponsor had essentially withdrew its plans due to financial constraints and other difficulties.[8]
