Describe the project: Delfin LNG LLC (Delfin) is proposing to construct, own, and operate a deepwater port (DWP) terminal (referred to herein as Port Delfin) in the Gulf of Mexico to serve the global liquefied natural gas (LNG) market. The proposed DWP would be located in federal waters within the West Cameron Area, West Addition Protraction Area, approximately 37.4 to 40.8 nautical miles (or 43 to 47 statute miles) off the coast of Cameron Parish, Louisiana, in water depths ranging from approximately 64 to 72 feet (19.5 to 21.9 meters). The DWP would consist of four new-build, custom designed floating liquefied natural gas vessels (FLNGVs), four tower yoke mooring systems (TYMS), two existing offshore natural gas pipelines of the former U T Offshore System (UTOS) and the High Island Offshore System (HIOS), four new pipeline laterals connecting the HIOS pipeline to each of the FLNGVs, and four service vessel moorings supporting the FLNGVs. The feed gas would be supplied through these new pipeline laterals to each of the FLNGVs, where it would be cooled sufficiently to totally condense the gas to produce LNG, and then would be stored in internal LNG storage tanks aboard each of the FLNGVs. Each FLNGV would have LNG storage capacity of approximately 210,000 cubic meters. As part of this proposed Project, Delfin is proposing to construct, and operate the Delfin onshore facilities (DOF) which includes onshore pipelines and associated metering and compression facilities on the landward side of the mean, high water mark in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, the purpose of which is to measure and deliver gas into the offshore pipeline for the DWP. The DOF supply header will consist of 0.25 mile of new 42-inch pipeline and 0.6 mile of new 30-inch twin pipelines. The DOF will include the existing 1.1 miles of the former UTOS pipeline a mainline block valve and blowdown site between the new compressor station and mean, high water mark.
