Happy Tuesday! Hope you were able to keep warm, today.
Did anyone
happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s OGJ Daily Update Newsletter on
November 26, 2025, their article titled, “FERC grants extension to Sempra’s
Cameron LNG, explores certain blanket authorizations for LNG plants”? In the article, it speaks on how in November the
U.S. Federal Energy Regulation Commission (FERC) placed a Notice of Inquiry (NOI)
in the Federal Register to get feedback on if they should create a blanket certificate
program for specific activities at LNG plants like they have for interstate
pipelines. The activities which would
most likely be under this certificate program would possibly include some
modifications and expansions which would reduce time wasted on waiting for
federal approval. FERC is considering
the change due to advances in innovation and expertise in the LNG industry. The comment period is 60 days on the NOI.
On another
note, Sempra Infrastructure’s Cameron LNG project in Louisiana received a five-year
postponement for their start date for operation which now will be March 16,
2033. Sempra needed guarantees for their
lenders of their federal approvals, so they may be able to make a final
investment decision. We will
let you know, if we hear any other updates on FERC’s decision to proceed with LNG
blanket authorizations! If you would
