[FE Docket No. 13–147–LNG] 

Delfin LNG LLC; Application for LongTerm Authorization To Export 

Liquefied Natural Gas Produced From 

Domestic Natural Gas Resources to 

Non-Free Trade Agreement Countries 

for a 20-Year Period 

AGENCY: Office of Fossil Energy, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Fossil Energy 

(FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE) 

gives notice of receipt of an application 

(Application) filed on November 12, 

2013, by Delfin LNG LLC (Delfin), 

requesting long-term, multi-contract 

authorization to export liquefied natural 

gas (LNG) produced from domestic 

sources in a volume equivalent to 

approximately 657.5 billion cubic feet 

per year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas, or 1.8 

Bcf per day (Bcf/d). Delfin seeks 

authorization to export the LNG for a 

20-year term from a proposed floating 

liquefaction project to be located in 

West Cameron Block 167 (WC 167) of 

the Gulf of Mexico, offshore of Cameron 

Parish, Louisiana (Liquefaction Project). 

Delfin states that the floating 

liquefaction facility will be a 

‘‘deepwater port’’ within the meaning of 

the Deepwater Port Act (33 U.S.C. 1501, 

et seq.), and therefore also will require 

a license from the U.S. Department of 

Transportation’s Marine Administration 

(MARAD), in conjunction with the U.S. 

Coast Guard. 

Delfin seeks authorization under 

§ 3(a) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), 15 

U.S.C. 717b(a), to export this LNG by 

vessel from the Liquefaction Project to 

any country with which the United 

States does not have a free trade 

agreement (FTA) requiring national 

treatment for trade in natural gas (nonFTA countries), and with which trade is 

not prohibited by U.S. law or policy. 

Delfin seeks to export the LNG on its 

own behalf and as agent for third 

parties. Delfin requests that this 

authorization commence on the earlier 

of the date of first export or seven years 

from the date the authorization is 

issued. 

DATES: Protests, motions to intervene or 

notices of intervention, as applicable, 

requests for additional procedures, and 

written comments are to be filed using 

procedures detailed in the Public 

Comment Procedures section no later 

than 4:30 p.m., Eastern time, May 27, 

2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Applicant. Delfin is a Louisiana 

limited liability company with its 

principal place of business in Dallas, 

Texas. Delfin states that it is a whollyowned subsidiary of Fairwood 

Peninsula LLC (Fairwood Peninsula), a 

Delaware limited liability company 

formed by executives from both the 

Fairwood Group (based in India and 

Singapore) and the Peninsula Group 

(based in the United States). Delfin 

describes the corporate structure as 

follows: 

• Fairwood Peninsula is owned by 

FWNR Energy Holdings (USA) 

Corporation (Fairwood USA) and the 

Peninsula Group. 

• Fairwood USA is a Delaware 

corporation and a subsidiary of 

Fairwood Welbeck Natural Resources 

Pte. Ltd. (or FWNRL). 

• Fairwood Welbeck Natural 

Resources Pte. Ltd. is part of the 

Fairwood Group, an India-based group 

of companies with investments in 

energy, transportation, and 

urbanization. FWNRL is a company 

organized and existing under the laws of 

Singapore, with its principal place of 

business in Midland House, Singapore 

188970. It is engaged in developing 

natural gas activities, including natural 

gas production and LNG liquefaction 

within the United States and 

regasification facilities and offtake 

contracts in Asia. 

• The Peninsula Group is a privately 

owned, Texas-based group of companies 

with interests in land development, 

construction projects, and oil and gas. 

Delfin states that principals of 

Fairwood Welbeck Natural Resources 

Pte. Ltd. and the Peninsula Group have 

been working on the development of the 

Liquefaction Project for several years 

and are engaged in advanced 

negotiations with major strategic 

partners. 

Procedural History. On October 7, 

2013, concurrently with its filing of this 

Application, Delfin filed a separate 

application requesting authorization 

under NGA section 3(c), 15 U.S.C. 

§ 717b(c), to export the same volume of 

LNG requested herein from the 

Liquefaction Project to FTA countries— 

i.e., those countries with whom the 

United States currently has, or in the 

future will have, a FTA requiring the 

national treatment for trade in natural 

gas, and with which trade is not 

prohibited by U.S. law or policy.1 On 

February 20, 2014, DOE/FE granted that 

application in DOE/FE Order No. 3393, 

authorizing Delfin to export 

domestically produced LNG to FTA 

countries in a volume equivalent to 

657.5 Bcf/yr (1.8 Bcf/d) for a 20-year 

term.2 Delfin states that the volumes 

requested for export under this

3 Delfin states that the Deepwater Port Act 

authorizes the ownership, construction, and 

operation of marine terminals in federal waters of 

the Outer Continental Shelf. The Deepwater Port 

Act originally applied only to oil import terminals, 

but was amended in 2002 to include LNG import 

terminals. Delfin states that Section 312 of the Coast 

Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2012 

(H.R. 2838) further amended the Deepwater Port 

Act to include facilities for the export of oil and 

natural gas.

Liquefaction Project. Delfin proposes 

to develop, own, and operate a floating 

liquefaction facility in WC 167 of the 

Gulf of Mexico, approximately 30 miles 

offshore of Cameron Parish, Louisiana. 

As stated above, Delfin asserts that the 

facility will qualify as a ‘‘deepwater 

port’’ under the Deepwater Port Act, 33 

U.S.C. 1501 et seq., and thus will 

require Delfin to obtain a separate 

license from MARAD, working in 

conjunction with the U.S. Coast Guard.3

Delfin states that liquefaction at the 

new deepwater port will utilize floating 

liquefaction and storage vessels 

(FLNGV) to be moored near an existing 

platform located in WC 167, 

approximately 30 miles offshore of 

Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Delfin states 

that the platform is the terminus and 

metering point of the existing Enbridge 

Offshore Pipelines (UTOS) natural gas 

pipeline system, and is connected to the 

shore via an existing 42-inch diameter, 

30-mile long gas pipeline. Delfin states 

that the pipeline system commenced 

operation in 1978 and previously was 

utilized for the purpose of transporting 

offshore natural gas production to 

onshore connections with 

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 

(Transco), Natural Gas Pipeline 

Company of America (NGPL), and ANR 

Pipeline Company (ANR), as well as to 

nearby gas processing plants. Delfin 

asserts that, because of significantly 

decreased flow volumes, the UTOS gas 

pipeline could no longer be 

economically operated for its original 

purpose. As a result, in 2011, the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(FERC) authorized the pipeline to 

abandon its services and certificates, 

while deferring the final disposition of 

its facilities.4 Delfin maintains that the 

system has been idle since that time and 

is currently filled with nitrogen. 

Delfin states that it has entered into a 

letter of intent with the owner of the 

pipeline system that provides Delfin the 

exclusive right to acquire the pipeline 

system, subject to the satisfaction of 

certain conditions including regulatory 

approvals. Delfin intends to 

recommission and to reverse the flow on 

the existing 42-inch pipeline for 

purposes of delivering feed gas to the 

Liquefaction Project. According to 

Delfin, the existing pipeline is 

anticipated to have capacity to transport 

up to 1.8 Bcf/d of natural gas from the 

Louisiana coastline to the new Delfin 

deepwater port facility. Delfin states 

that, following the reactivation of its 

previous onshore interconnections with 

major interstate pipelines (Transco, 

NGPL, and ANR) and modifications to 

reverse flow, the pipeline will allow the 

Liquefaction Project to access the 

domestic natural gas interstate pipeline 

system.5

Delfin states that the planned 

liquefaction will be provided on 

FLNGVs that will be moored at purposebuilt single point moorings located as 

near the terminus of the existing 

pipeline in WC 167 as operationally and 

safely as possible (expected to be within 

approximately 2000 feet). According to 

Delfin, the FLNGVs will have the 

capability to export LNG to off-taking 

LNG carriers utilizing a proven ship-toship, side transfer process. Delfin states 

that the precise location and spacing of 

the FLNGVs around the existing WC 167 

platform will depend on further design 

work, as well as consultation with 

MARAD and the Coast Guard.6 Delfin 

states that it has begun consultation 

with these agencies concerning the 

licensing of the new port. 

Delfin states that the Liquefaction 

Project will be constructed in four LNG 

trains. Delfin states that it has entered 

into a memorandum of understanding 

(MOU) with a midstream LNG company 

to provide at least the first two FLNGVs. 

According to Delfin, the focus of the 

MOU is to develop fast track, modular, 

and mid-scale liquefaction solutions of 

approximately 2.5 million metric tons 

per annum (mtpa) per train, based on 

existing technology and using 

completed front-end engineering and 

designs. Delfin estimates that, subject to 

all regulatory approvals, it will begin 

operation of the first train in 2017 and 

the second train in 2018. 

Delfin anticipates that the third and 

fourth LNG trains will be provided by 

FLNGVs ordered and constructed for 

purposes of this Project. Delfin states 

that it is engaged in advanced 

discussions with a ship-building 

company and a LNG carrier company 

concerning these trains. Delfin 

anticipates contracting with the shipbuilder for the construction of a new 

FLNGV(s) for the third and fourth trains. 

Delfin states that these two trains will 

provide liquefaction capacity of 4.0 

million mtpa each, bringing the total 

capacity of the Liquefaction Project to 

approximately 13 million mtpa. Delfin 

anticipates beginning operation of the 

third and fourth trains in 2019 and 

2021, respectively. 

Current Application 

Delfin seeks authorization to export a 

volume of LNG equivalent to 657.5 Bcf/ 

yr of natural gas (1.8 Bcf/d) from the 

Liquefaction Project to non-FTA 

countries for the requested 20-year term, 

beginning on the date of first export or 

seven years from the date of issuance of 

the authorization requested by this 

Application, whichever is sooner. As 

noted above, Delfin states that the 

export volume requested in this 

Application is not additive to the same 

volume requested in its FTA 

application, granted in DOE/FE Order 

No. 3393. 

In light of the planned phased 

development of the Liquefaction 

Project—with successive trains expected 

to become operational from 2017 

through 2021—Delfin requests that the 

‘‘date of first export’’ be determined on 

a train-specific basis. Delfin explains 

this request as follows: ‘‘For example, 

exports from the first train, if placed in 

operation in 2017 as planned, would 

extend for twenty years from that first 

export . . . but if the third train were 

placed in operation in 2020, exports 

from it also would be authorized for 

twenty years from the start of that 

train’s export operations (rather than 

only approximately seventeen years, 

based on the original date of first 

export).’’ 7 Delfin notes that the export 

authorization for all trains would 

commence no later than seven years 

from the date of the order authorizing 

exports, consistent with its request 

above. According to Delfin, this phased 

approach, while not previously adopted 

by DOE/FE, will facilitate the orderly, 

phased developments of its facility and 

its contracts with customers. 

Delfin is requesting authorization to 

export LNG on its own behalf or as 

agent for other entities who hold title to 

the LNG at the time of export. Delfin 

states that it will comply with all DOE/ 

FE requirements for exporters and 

agents, including registration 

requirements articulated in recent DOE/ 

FE orders. 

Delfin further states that it intends to 

export domestically produced natural 

gas sourced from both conventional and

non-conventional production. Delfin 

anticipates that this gas will be available 

from the interstate pipeline grid, and 

delivered through the connection to its 

dedicated, existing pipeline to the new 

deepwater port. Delfin states that its 

connection with the interstate pipeline 

system will provide access to abundant, 

diverse supplies of natural gas produced 

from Louisiana and Texas (specifically 

in the Eagle Ford Shale) and across the 

United States. 

Delfin states that it is engaged in 

commercial negotiations with numerous 

potential customers. Delfin anticipates 

that it will contract some of its 

capacity—in particular, portions of its 

first and possibly second LNG trains— 

with customers in FTA countries, and 

expects to contract other amounts of 

capacity with customers located in nonFTA countries. Delfin states that, 

consistent with DOE/FE precedent, it 

will file under seal any relevant long 

term commercial agreements for natural 

gas liquefaction and LNG export 

services between Delfin and its 

customers, once those agreements have 

been executed. 

Delfin further asserts that, as a 

practical matter, the requested 

authorization will not be actionable 

until MARAD grants Delfin 

authorization for the facilities needed 

for the liquefaction of natural gas and 

the export of LNG. According to Delfin, 

an environmental review under the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., will be 

completed by MARAD and the Coast 

Guard, together with the participation of 

DOE and other consulting agencies, 

prior to granting the requested 

authorizations. Accordingly, Delfin 

requests that DOE/FE issue a 

conditional authorization in this 

proceeding, conditioned on completion 

of the environmental review by MARAD 

and the Coast Guard. 

Public Interest Considerations 

Delfin states that DOE/FE should 

grant the requested authorization to 

allow LNG exports under NGA § 3(a) 

because the proposed exports are 

consistent with, and will advance, the 

public interest. 

According to Delfin, allowing Delfin 

and its customers to freely negotiate 

contracts to respond to market 

conditions and to utilize the proposed 

Liquefaction Project will be consistent 

with the pro-competition focus of DOE’s 

1984 Policy Guidelines for 

implementing NGA § 3.8 Delfin states 

that North American gas reserves are 

more than adequate to satisfy demand in 

the United States, even under the most 

aggressive demand projections 

including a large domestic LNG export 

industry. Delfin states that its proposed 

exports could not pose a threat to 

domestic gas supply security. Rather, 

the proposed exports will provide a 

steady, incremental demand for natural 

gas, thereby supporting natural supply 

development and producing economic 

and employment benefits. Delfin states 

that other benefits of LNG exports 

include reducing the U.S. trade 

imbalance, complying with the nation’s 

long-standing support of free-trade, and 

promoting positive consequences in 

international relations. 

Delfin also references the recent twopart macroeconomic study 

commissioned by DOE to assert that the 

general benefits of LNG exports are well 

known to DOE/FE. Delfin states that the 

first part of the study, conducted by the 

Energy Information Agency (EIA), 

evaluated the potential impact of 

additional LNG exports on domestic 

energy consumption, production, and 

prices under several export scenarios.9

Delfin states that the second part of the 

study, conducted by NERA Economic 

Consulting, assessed the potential 

macroeconomic impact of LNG exports 

using NERA’s energy-economy model.10

According to Delfin, DOE/FE has held 

that the NERA study supports the 

proposition that proposed exports of 

LNG are not inconsistent with the 

public interest. Delfin further states that 

NERA’s findings—that the United States 

will benefit from the export of 

domestically produced LNG—are 

confirmed by numerous other 

persuasive studies, such as studies 

published by the Brookings Institution 

in June 2012 and by ICF International in 

May 2013. Citing the extensive evidence 

of the benefits of LNG exports presented 

in these studies, Delfin states that it is 

incorporating these studies into the 

record of this proceeding and is not 

submitting any studies of its own. 

Delfin also discusses the unique 

public interest benefits associated with 

its Liquefaction Project. Specifically, 

Delfin states that the Project is unique 

because it will be located off-shore. 

According to Delfin, the off-shore 

location enables it to avoid certain 

environmental and land-owner concerns 

that frequently arise concerning shorebased facilities. Delfin states that the offshore location also avoids seaway 

congestion by limiting the number of 

LNG tankers entering the crowded port 

terminal system—an issue which it 

states may be problematic for some 

proposed terminals on the Gulf Coast. 

Delfin notes that its FLNGVs will be 

powered and mobile, enabling them to 

move away from the mooring location to 

escape a hurricane or other storm that 

could cause interruptions in service 

from damaged facilities of on-shore LNG 

terminals. Delfin further states that its 

liquefaction trains on the FLNGVs will 

be constructed in the controlled 

environment of a shipyard, which it 

maintains will result in improved 

quality controls and will promote 

increased safety in operations. Delfin 

expects to be among the most 

environmentally friendly LNG 

liquefaction facilities in the world, 

burning only natural gas, using air 

cooling and closed loop cooling, and 

using no sea water, for all systems. 

According to Delfin, its proposed use of 

the existing UTOS gas pipeline also 

avoids the need for new construction 

and provides a new use for 

infrastructure that was otherwise slated 

for abandonment. For these and other 

reasons, Delfin asserts that the 

Liquefaction Project will result in 

economic benefits to the Louisiana 

coastal region. 

Delfin provides additional discussion 

in asserting that: (1) Projected natural 

gas supplies in the United States are 

more than sufficient to support exports, 

(2) any effect of Delfin’s proposed 

exports on domestic gas prices would be 

minor and should help to reduce price 

volatility, and (3) LNG exports, such as 

those proposed by Delfin, will 

significantly benefit the United States, 

both domestically and with respect to 

international consequences.

DOE/FE Evaluation 

The Application will be reviewed 

pursuant to section 3(a) of the NGA, 15 

U.S.C. 717b(a), and DOE will consider 

any issues required by law or policy. To 

the extent determined to be relevant, 

these issues will include the domestic 

need for the natural gas proposed to be 

exported, the adequacy of domestic 

natural gas supply, U.S. energy security, 


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 58 / Wednesday, March 26, 2014 / Notices 16785 

and the cumulative impact of the 

requested authorization and any other 

LNG export application(s) previously 

approved on domestic natural gas 

supply and demand fundamentals. DOE 

may also consider other factors bearing 

on the public interest, including the 

impact of the proposed exports on the 

U.S. economy (including GDP, 

consumers, and industry), job creation, 

the U.S. balance of trade, and 

international considerations; and 

whether the authorization is consistent 

with DOE’s policy of promoting 

competition in the marketplace by 

allowing commercial parties to freely 

negotiate their own trade arrangements. 

Parties that may oppose this 

Application should address these issues 

in their comments and/or protests, as 

well as other issues deemed relevant to 

the Application. 

NEPA requires DOE to give 

appropriate consideration to the 

environmental effects of its decisions. 

No final decision will be issued in this 

proceeding until DOE has met its 

environmental responsibilities.
