American pipeline operator Energy Transfer is accelerating efforts to expand its export capabilities by signing a non-binding agreement with MidOcean Energy for the development of an LNG export terminal in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Under the terms of the collaboration, MidOcean Energy will cover 30% of the construction expenses and, in return, secure 30% of the terminal’s production – approximately 5 million metric tons of LNG per year. Industry experts view this development as a pivotal move for the LNG market and a strategic step in enhancing export infrastructure.
