A Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) inspection of Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility found that the company was proceeding with repairs according to federal standards, a report released Sept. 26 said.
The Venture Global project, located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, has been at the center of a dispute between the company and six of its foundational customers for most of 2024.
Venture Global is transforming natural gas into LNG and shipping it from the plant. However, the project has not been fully completed and commissioned, meaning the company does not have to sell its product to its foundational customers and can take it to the worldwide market instead.
The foundational customers, including Shell, BP, Spain's Repsol, Italy's Edison, Portugal's Galp and Poland's PKN Orlen, are in arbitration against Venture.

The federal report found that “construction and commissioning activities observed during the inspection comply with the designs and plans filed with and approved by FERC.”
Venture Global is working on several projects to current performance deficiencies, including work on a heat recovery steam generator and boiler tube replacement, according to the report.
