The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) sanctioneda plan by Marathon Petroleum Corporation's (MPC - Free Report) subsidiary, Trans-Foreland Pipeline Co LLC, unit to convert the Kenai liquefied natural gas export plant in Alaska into an import terminal. FERC has given two years to Trans-Foreland to put the planned project into service.
The Kenai LNG Terminal entered service in 1969. It presently has a 0.2-billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/day) liquefaction unit, a pre-treatment facility, a boil-off gas management system, three 35,000-cubic-meter LNG storage tanks, ancillary facilities and a marine loading/unloading dock. The terminal has not exported LNG since 2015.
Trans-Foreland intends to make various arrangements and construct a number of mechanisms in order to transform the Kenai LNG plant into an import terminal. Some of these comprise a skid-mounted, electric-powered trim LNG vaporizer module, consisting of 10 trim LNG vaporizers; a 1,000 horsepower (hp), electric-driven boiloff gas booster compressor; a vaporizer feed pump; an LNG circulation pump; 12 new valves and minor piping rearrangements; and appurtenant facilities. All these work will take place within the periphery of the Kenai LNG Terminal.
Post conversion of the facility, Trans-Foreland is expected to import up to four tanker loads of LNG annually. It will use its boil-off gas management system to deliver around 3,500-7,000 million British thermal units (MMBtu) per day of imported gas to the Kenai Refinery. Trans-Foreland’s import terminal will have a yearly capacity of 1.825 million MMBtu.
