Coastal Bend LNG has selected EXP as its lead environmental consultant for its planned natural gas liquefaction and export facility on the Texas Gulf Coast. EXP will provide environmental consulting services for the development of the facilities, including liquefaction trains, cogeneration, LNG storage tanks, and export facilities. The company expects to commence the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission pre-filing process during 2025.

Coastal Bend LNG, a privately held energy infrastructure development company, has selected EXP as its lead environmental consultant for its planned natural gas liquefaction and export facility on the Texas Gulf Coast. The facility, which includes multiple liquefaction trains, cogeneration, LNG storage tanks, and export facilities, is expected to commence the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) pre-filing process during 2025 [3].

EXP, a global engineering, architecture, design, and consulting firm, will provide environmental consulting services for the development of Coastal Bend’s facilities. The firm’s expertise in environmental surveys is particularly relevant as DOE and FERC implement revisions to their NEPA requirements. This will help Coastal Bend LNG advance its permitting process efficiently [3].

Carlos R. Guzman, Chief Operating Officer of Coastal Bend LNG, commented on the selection, stating, “EXP shares our goal of responsibly developing the Coastal Bend LNG project with benefits to our local communities as well as our end customers” [3]. Michael Aubele, Vice President of Environmental and Regulatory Services at EXP, added, “Our work with Coastal Bend LNG reflects EXP’s commitment to advancing responsible and resilient energy infrastructure in the United States” [3].

The selection of EXP underscores Coastal Bend LNG’s commitment to sustainability and innovation, aligning with its mission to deliver low-carbon energy to the world. The company’s focus on operational excellence and responsible development is evident in its choice of a reputable environmental consulting firm to guide its project through the regulatory process [3].
