Background
The TransCameron Pipeline is operated by TransCameron Pipeline LLC, a subsidiary of Venture Global LNG.[4] Venture Global applied to FERC in September 2015 to site, build, and operate the pipeline.[5] FERC listed this application as pending in October 2017.[6]
The pipeline received FERC approval in February of 2019.[7] In August 2019, Venture Global LNG made a final investment decision and closed project financing. The project has received all necessary permits, including authorization from FERC and from the US Department of Energy for non-Free Trade Agreement export. Construction has been under way since February, and the project is expected to begin commercial operations in 2022. The project has 20-year LNG sales agreements with Royal Dutch Shell, BP, Edison SPA, Galp Energia SGPS SA, Repsol SA, and Polish Oil & Gas Co.[8]
In April 2021, the pipeline was complete, and FERC permitted it to enter service based on Venture Global's construction reports and photo documentation.[9][10]
