Open The Floodgates! Texas LNG Given License To Export LNG; Sixteen (16) New Permits -- Williston Basin, North Dakota; Halcon Has A Bakken Gusher; KOG With Two "High-IP" Wells; BR With Two Nice Wells

Houston Bz Journal is reporting -- open the floodgates --- Texas LNG given license to export LNG.

The U.S. Department of Energy has given the go ahead to Texas LNG to start exporting to Free Trade Agreement countries.

Texas LNG can now export up to two million tones per year of liquified natural gas to any current and future FTA countries for the next 25 years, the company said in a press release. Chandra said in Jan. 2014 that the company would export to countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

The venture is building a $1 billion terminal at the Port of Brownsville in South Texas on the U.S.-Mexico border.

When it's completed, the terminal will export 275 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. Texas LNG said it expects its first LNG deliveries to begin in late 2018.
