The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has approved the continued operation and expansion of Distrigas' Everett, Mass., LNG terminal, noting the plant's seven years of continuous operation without serious safety or environmental incidents. In a related proceeding, FERC approved a Distrigas proposal to build $9.1 million in additional facilities at the terminal to receive increased volumes of LNG; the importation, from Algeria, has already been approved by the U.S. Department of Energy FERC authorized Distrigas to sell the regasified LNG to Distrigas of Massachusetts Corp., which will sell it to New England customers. Southern California LNG Terminal Co. has assured LNG supplies of 5 billion cu ft/day from Ecuador and 1.5 billlion from Saudi Arabia (not 1.5 trillion as reported earlier) and will apply for permission to build and operate a terminal near Ventura, Calif.
