Elba III Terminal Expansion
Southern LNG, L.L.C. continues to expand its Elba Island liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal to meet the increased need for new natural gas delivery infrastructure to serve growth markets in the Southeastern United States. The current Elba Island expansion is expected to add 8.4 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of storage capacity at the facility and 900 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of send-out capacity, doubling the storage and send-out capabilities of the facility. The initial phase includes installation of a new 4.2 Bcf storage tank and modification of the docking facilities to accommodate new, larger delivery vessels. This phase of the expansion was placed in service in July 2010. The second phase of the terminal expansion will add another 4.2 Bcf storage tank. The second phase is at the option of BG LNG Services, LLC.
