Planned LNG projects based on production from Iran's Pars field include supply agreements and facilities to move 3 million tons/yr to a group of Japanese customers led by Tokyo Electric Power Co.; a Columbia Gas and Consolidated Natural Gas Co. plan to import approx.300 million cu ft/day of LNG via a floating liquefaction plant, offshore loading facilities, and the existing Cove Point, Md. terminal (Consolidated would get 125 million and Columbia 175 million); and the plan by Peoples Gas Co. to establish an LNG export chain to the U.S. east coast. Kangan Liquefied Natural Gas Co. will spend $762 million on a liquefaction and export complex, involving two 1.5 million ton/yr liquefaction trains, two 5.3 million cu ft storage tanks, a 2380 ft long jetty capable of accommodating LNG carriers up to 4.5 million cu ft capacity, and 59 mi of 26 in. gas line. New contracts for delivery of 141 billion cu ft/yr of Algerian gas as LNG to West Germany for 20 yr beginning in 1984, and other European supply contracts for LNG that was to be used for El Paso LNG Co.'s planned Algeria II LNG import project, which has been delayed by U.S. regulatory agencies are discussed.
