Background

Freeport-McMoRan LNG Terminal is a proposed LNG export terminal 16 miles offshore in Louisiana, United States. The proposed LNG would use existing offshore infrustructure of the McMoRan MPEH Deepwater Port, approved in 2007 for LNG regasification and import. April 2017 updates on the US Department of Energy's website show delayed start dates for the project; Freeport-McMoRan now expects LNG exports to begin in 2022.
