美国能源部批准俄勒冈州项目出口LNG

据路透社7月31日华盛顿报道，美国能源部（DOE）31日在华盛顿表示，随着美国国内钻探热潮涌动，奥巴马政府致力于通过批准申请向亚洲和欧洲市场出口燃料，因此，美国能源部日前批准了俄勒冈州液化天然气项目出口液化天然气（LNG）。

由Leucadia公司控制的俄勒冈州LNG项目日前从美国能源部获准每天出口12.5亿立方英尺的LNG。

据悉，这个总部设在俄勒冈州的Astoria项目还需要获得美国联邦能源监管委员会的批准。

US DOE gives approval to Oregon project to export LNG

WASHINGTON, July 31 (Reuters) - The U.S. Energy Department said on Thursday it has approved Oregon LNG to export liquefied natural gas, as the Obama administration works through applications to export fuel from the domestic drilling boom to markets in Asia and Europe.

Oregon LNG, which is controlled by Leucadia National Corp, has been authorized by the department to export up to 1.25 billion cubic feet per day of the fuel. The Astoria, Oregon-based project still needs approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
