Clatsop County commissioners have rejected Oregon LNG, a proposed LNG terminal and associated pipeline, claiming that the pipeline violated land-use rules. The project developers, Oregon LNG and the Oregon Pipeline Company, contend federal regulators will have the final say.
The Oregon LNG project is a proposed liquefaction terminal in Warrenton (Oregon, United States), with a capacity of nearly 10 Mt/year (13.4 bcm/year) and two storage tanks of 160,000 m3 each. Developers filed a land-use application for construction of a pipeline and terminal in Warrenton in October 2009, which was approved in 2010. However, a new commission reversed the decision four months later; in 2012, the Oregon court of Appeals ruled that the approval decision was not irreversible, while the Oregon Supreme Court declined to take the case. In June 2013, Oregon LNG filed an export application with the FERC. The terminal is not expected before 2018.
