Annova LNG grinds forward

A recent pipeline access agreement is a step forward for the Gulf Coast LNG export project, but an FID still faces obstacles

The proposed Annova LNG export project in south Texas has taken a step forward in the race among US LNG export developers to be the next to reach a final investment decision (FID).
