Tellurian Inc. unveiled plans on June 22 for a new pipeline in Louisiana for its Driftwood LNG project the company said is designed and routed to bypass what has become a “constrained, complex and expensive transportation pathway” around Lake Charles.
“This new and completed pipeline design provides definitive and measurable results for emissions reduction and is another step in Tellurian’s overall strategy to support and balance the world’s energy needs and environmental concerns,” commented President and CEO Octávio Simões in a release from the company.
In the release, Tellurian said Driftwood Pipeline LLC, a subsidiary of the Houston-based LNG developer, had submitted a formal application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to construct and operate Line 200 and 300, an approximately 37-mile, dual 42-inch diameter interstate pipeline that will originate near Ragley in Beauregard Parish and end near Carlyss in Calcasieu Parish in Louisiana.
As part of the design, Driftwood Pipeline is proposing to deploy Baker Hughes-supplied electric-driven compression, which Tellurian said will reduce the pipeline’s CO₂ emissions by more than 99%.
Tellurian is currently developing the Driftwood LNG export facility south of Lake Charles, which, once completed, will be able to export up to 27.6 million tonnes per annum. The company also owns and operates upstream assets in the dry gas Haynesville shale formation.

The proposed pipeline project, coupled with other initiatives, will lead to nearly a one million tonne reduction per year in direct greenhouse gas emissions or a 14% overall reduction, according to the company release.
“Tellurian will continue to explore ways to collaborate with the U.S. Administration and contribute to its plan for a cleaner climate with a focus on upending energy poverty domestically and abroad,” Simões added.
