Tellurian President and CEO Meg Gentle said, "Throughout the pre-filing phase, the representatives at FERC, the Department of Energy and the US Coast Guard have been well-organised, thorough, and proficient in ensuring that Driftwood LNG is designed and permitted with a priority on safety, reliability, and efficiency. We look forward to continuing to work with FERC and other agencies on a timely approval process and beginning construction in 2018."
The Driftwood LNG project will require approximately 6400 workers during the construction phase, and will create nearly 400 new permanent jobs when fully operational. Tellurian expects that engineering, procurement, and construction costs will be approximately US$13 – US$16 billion for the Driftwood LNG export facility and expects to make a final investment decision to begin construction following regulatory approval in mid-2018.
