Background

Commonwealth LNG Terminal is a proposed LNG terminal in Louisiana, United States.[1] It will have six production trains.[2] It will have a capacity of 8.4 million tonnes per year.[3]

The Office of Fossil Energy granted Commonwealth LNG long-term authorization to export LNG to Free Trade Agreement (FTA) countries in December of 2012.[4] Commonwealth LNG announced in April 2017 an expected commercial operation start date by the second quarter of 2022, representing a delay from the previously-expected operation date of fourth quarter 2021.[5]

In June of 2019, Commonwealth Projects and Gunvor Group Ltd signed a heads of agreement (HOA), which finalized a definitive 15-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) sale-and-purchase agreement (SPA) for 1.5 million tonnes per annum of LNG offtake from the Commonwealth LNG terminal.[6]
