Pending final regulatory permitting, two new LNG corridors operated by Shell Oil Co. are expected to begin operations and production in about three years. The projects will utilize North American natural gas in the Great Lakes and Gulf Coast regions. In the Gulf Coast Corridor, Shell plans to install the processing operation at its facility in Geismar, La. In the Great Lakes Corridor, the company plans a unit in Sarnia, Ontario.
“Natural gas is an abundant and cleaner-burning energy source in North America, and Shell is leveraging its LNG expertise and integrated strength to make LNG a viable fuel option for the commercial market,“ said Marvin Odum, president of Shell Oil Co. “We are investing now in the infrastructure that will allow us to bring this innovative and cost-competitive fuel to our customers.”
