The proposed Calcasieu Pass 2 liquefied natural gas export terminal and pipeline project in Louisiana appears to be advancing with owner Venture Global hiring Australian-based Worley as EPC contractor. But the megaproject is still pending government approval as it faces growing opposition from environmental advocates and others.
Worley disclosed in a Dec. 21 Australian Securities Exchange announcement that it had signed a reimbursable engineering, procurement and construction contract for the Calcasieu Pass 2 (CP2) project first phase. Earlier this year, Worley had announced that it and Venture Global agreed to substantive terms for the contract but had not then finalized details of the deal.
