Name of the Project
Driftwood liquefied natural gas (LNG) project.

Location
The project will be located on the west bank of the Calcasieu river near Carlyss, Calcasieu Parish, in Louisiana, in the US.

Client
Tellurian LNG subsidiaries Driftwood LNG and Driftwood Pipeline (DWPL), collectively Driftwood.

Project Description
The Driftwood project will provide gas and processing facilities to produce up to 27.6-million tonnes a year of LNG for export.

The project comprises the construction and operation of the LNG Facility, which includes five LNG plant facilities to liquefy natural gas, three tanks to store the LNG and LNG carrier loading/berthing facilities, as well as other appurtenant facilities at a site near Carlyss; and the construction and operation of about 155 km of pipeline, three new compressor stations and 15 new meter stations to deliver natural gas to the LNG facility.

Potential Job Creation
The project is expected to create nearly 50 000 direct and indirect jobs in at least 18 states.

Value
Not stated

Duration
Subject to regulatory approval, Driftwood expects to start construction of the liquefaction facility in 2019 and placing the first liquefaction plant into service in 2023. The remaining four liquefaction plants will be commissioned at intervals after completion of the first liquefaction plant, with full service expected in 2025 or 2026, after a total construction period of 86 months. DWPL will build its proposed facilities in phases, with the first phase starting at least two years from project authorisation and taking 20 months to complete, the second phase and third phases will take 19 months and 16 months respectively.

Latest Developments
Tellurian received its draft environmental impact statement from the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for the Driftwood LNG terminal facility and the associated Driftwood pipeline in September.
