Challenging Conventional Thinking with Proven Results in the LNG Industry

Meg Gentle, CEO delivers our Corporate Update with a nod to our recent 2019 successes.

Tellurian Inc. (Tellurian) (NASDAQ: TELL) announced today that the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has issued the order granting authorization for Driftwood LNG, a proposed ~27.6 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) liquefaction export facility near Lake Charles, Louisiana, and the associated Driftwood pipeline, a 96-mile proposed pipeline connecting to the facility (collectively, the Driftwood project).

President and CEO Meg Gentle said, “Tellurian thanks FERC and other state and federal agencies for their diligence and for working alongside our team over the past three years to ensure that we bring the Driftwood project to the market safely and efficiently.

Where is the release valve for the prolific U.S. natural gas? Louisiana, the home of our proposed Driftwood LNG project.

LNG answers more than urban pollution. Building U.S. pipeline infrastructure and export facilities help Permian producers find an outlet for their associated gas. Listen to our team talk efficiencies and alternatives to help slow climate change – and hear their Market Commentary live!

Tellurian (NASDAQ: TELL) announced today that its subsidiary Permian Global Access Pipeline LLC is conducting a binding open season to secure prospective shippers for its proposed PGAP project (PGAP). PGAP is a proposed 42-inch diameter interstate natural gas pipeline originating at the Waha Hub in Pecos County, Texas, and terminating at Gillis, Louisiana, north of Lake Charles, Louisiana. The pipeline connects the prolific Permian Basin in Texas to the rapidly growing natural gas market in Southwest Louisiana. PGAP is estimated to cost approximately ~$3.7 billion to construct and will have the capacity to transport at least two billion cubic feet of natural gas a day. Construction could begin as early as 2021 and the pipeline is targeted to be in service as early as 2023.

PGAP is part of Tellurian’s proposed pipeline network. The network represents an anticipated overall investment of approximately ~$7.3 billion in U.S. infrastructure, and is expected to create approximately 15,000 jobs in Texas and Louisiana. The investment is incremental to the $15.2 billion investment that Tellurian plans for Driftwood LNG, a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility near Lake Charles, Louisiana.

President and CEO Meg Gentle said, “Permian producers have recently paid $9.00 per mmBtu to move their natural gas away from the wellhead, reflecting the acute need for infrastructure development in the basin. By contrast, Southwest Louisiana is a market expected to grow 300% in the next five years. The Permian Global Access Pipeline is critical infrastructure that will interconnect stranded Permian gas production with growing markets, reduce flaring, and provide a valuable cleaner fuel to reduce urban pollution and carbon globally.”

The open season will begin at noon Central time on Monday, April 8, 2019 and runs through Friday, May 24, 2019 at 4 p.m. Central time. Interested parties are encouraged to contact Joey Mahmoud, President of PGAP or Mac Broderick, VP of PGAP at +1.832.962.4000 for more information.

Tellurian Inc. (Tellurian) (NASDAQ: TELL) and Total S.A. (Total) announced today that the two companies have signed a Heads of Agreement (HOA) for Total to make a $500 million equity investment in the integrated Driftwood project and to purchase one million tonnes per annum (1 mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Driftwood.

In addition, the HOA specifies that Tellurian and Total will enter into a sales and purchase agreement (SPA) for a further 1.5 mtpa of LNG from Tellurian Marketing’s LNG offtake volumes from the proposed Driftwood LNG export terminal. The SPA will be for the purchase of LNG free on board (FOB) for a minimum term of 15 years, at a price based on the Platts Japan Korea Marker (JKM).

Tellurian and Total have also executed a common stock purchase agreement pursuant to which Total will purchase approximately 19.87 million shares of Tellurian common stock for $200 million, subject to certain closing conditions in particular the Driftwood project FID. Including Total’s original $207 million investment in Tellurian in 2017, Total’s aggregate investment within the Tellurian portfolio will amount to $907 million.

The common stock purchase agreement specifies that Tellurian Marketing will purchase equity interests in Driftwood, which Tellurian intends to fund with a private equity financing at the Tellurian Marketing level. Tellurian anticipates that the equity interest will represent 2 mtpa of LNG purchases and that after full construction of the ~27.6 mtpa Driftwood LNG terminal, Tellurian Marketing will receive ~13.6 mtpa of LNG from Driftwood.

President and CEO Meg Gentle said, “Total is a premier global natural gas production and trading company and will manage a portfolio of 40 mtpa of LNG by 2020. Our partnership with Total began before the inception of Tellurian, when Total endorsed a new business model for U.S. LNG. We look forward to consistently delivering on our development plan for Driftwood LNG and the integrated network, beginning construction on the largest privately funded infrastructure project in the U.S., and producing low-cost, reliable natural gas as we dedicate LNG to reduce urban pollution and transition to a low-carbon economy.”

Patrick Pouyanné, Total’s Chairman and CEO said, “The cost to produce natural gas in the U.S. continues to fall, as the engine of American innovation finds more efficient ways to apply technology to producing its vast energy resources. The Tellurian team has an established track record of developing and constructing energy infrastructure on time and at the lowest cost. We look forward to joining the Driftwood partnership and continuing to invest in our LNG portfolio to provide flexible, reliable, and low-cost LNG to our global customers.”

The Driftwood project includes natural gas production, gathering, processing and transportation facilities, along with Driftwood LNG, a proposed ~27.6 mtpa liquefaction export facility that will be located near Lake Charles, Louisiana on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Driftwood LNG and Driftwood Pipeline have received the final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and are expected to begin construction this year, deliver first LNG in 2023 with full operations in 2026.
