NO. 1: Following a series of delays, Golden Pass LNG has asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for a three-year extension to finish construction of the 18 million metric tons/year export project in Texas.
Golden Pass, a joint venture between QatarEnergy and ExxonMobil, wants to extend the deadline from Nov. 30, 2026 to Nov. 30, 2029.
The project needs more time because of delays caused by the bankruptcy of its lead construction contractor Zachry Industrial Inc., the transition to new lead contractor McDermott and “other possible delays…that may occur such as potential hurricane impacts, and for commissioning and startup activities,” the company stated.
