Freeport LNG

Freeport LNG Development, L.P. operates one of the first LNG terminals in the U.S. built after a 20-year hiatus in LNG terminal development. The storage and regasification facility is located on Quintana Island, about 70 miles south of Houston, Texas.

LNG Storage and Vaporization

The FLNG facility features two full-containment storage tanks, each with a capacity of 160,000 cubic meters of LNG (a third tank is envisioned for phase II). Each tank has a primary inner container of 9% nickel steel and a secondary outer container of pre-stressed concrete with a concrete roof that extends to the outside container.

Boat Ramp Relocation

A public boat ramp was on the site of Freeport LNG’s terminal, but siltation filled much of the channel leading to the Intracoastal Waterway. This made it difficult to launch boats from the Brazoria County operated ramp. Freeport LNG worked with the county to not only replace the ramp, but to help develop a new 7.5 acre county park facility that will include a new public boat ramp.
