Tres Palacios Natural Gas Storage Project Snags Favorable FERC Environmental Assessment - Natural Gas Intelligence
FERC staff said approval of a planned expansion of the Tres Palacios natural gas storage facility in Matagorda County, TX, would not significantly affect the quality of the human environment, with appropriate mitigating measures.
In the Environmental Assessment (EA) issued earlier this month, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff assessed the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Tres Palacios Cavern 4 Expansion Project in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act.
The proposed Tres Palacios Cavern 4 Expansion Project, which would add about 6.5 Bcf of new working gas capacity and 3.5 Bcf of base gas, was filed at FERC in October 2021 by Tres Palacios Gas Storage LLC.

But the technologies involved, while proven, remain expensive, an obstacle to widespread adoption.
