Project Details

• Operator: Midship Pipeline Company, LLC
• Parent Company: Cheniere Energy
• Current capacity:
• Proposed capacity: 1440 Million cubic feet per day
• Length: 200 miles / 322 km
• Status: Operating
• Start Year: 2018/2019

Background

The Midship Pipeline would be operated by Midship Pipeline Company, LLC, a subsidiary of Cheniere Energy. The pipeline is expected to carry natural gas from Oklahoma to an LNG facility in Louisiana for export to Asia.

Environmental Impact

In May 2017 Cheniere filed its Application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in Docket No. CP17-458-000. FERC issued a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) in February 2018. The DEIS found that the Midship Pipeline would contribute significantly to the emission of Greenhouse Gasses (GHG's) and contribute to climate change:

"The GHG emissions from the downstream end-use of the products transported by the MIDSHIP Project would increase the atmospheric concentration of GHGs, in combination with past and future

emissions from all other sources, and contribute incrementally to climate change that produces the impacts previously described."
