据Oil & Gas Journal网站3月22日消息 根据最近提交给美国联邦能源管理委员会（FERC）的文件，全球风投液化天然气（Venture Global LNG）可能于2021年底开始从其位于洛杉矶卡梅伦的1000万吨/年Calcasieu Pass液化厂出口液化天然气。Calcasieu Pass预计，公司将于2022年年中开始全面出口业务，并计划分阶段启动业务，包括2021年底的首次出口。
现场建设于2019年2月开始，同年晚些时候全球风投做出最终投资决定（FID）。2022年开始全面出口与当时的预测一致。
全球风投表示，该工厂的建设进展顺利。Calcasieu Pass将两个液化天然气储罐的顶部抬高，并将初始液化模块安装在地基上。
该公司有六份具有约束力的长期协议，销售总额为800万吨/年，以及超过1000万吨/年产能的可用数量的协议。与壳牌天然气有限责任公司、Edison SPA、英国石油天然气营销有限公司、Galp Energia E&P BV、雷普索尔液化天然气控股有限公司、波兰石油天然气公司和全球风投货物公司签订了协议。Calcasieu Pass预计，该公司将在施工完成前承包其剩余的200万吨产能。
美国能源部已授权Calcasieu Pass每年出口多达6200亿立方英尺的天然气，相当于该工厂1200万/年的峰值产能。
